Message	You said stock calipers in the title but asked about the Akebonos in the post. Akebonos are pricey and there are better options in that price range. There was an awesome deal recently in the classifieds for a 13" ap bbk for 750+stock brakes. It's the same kit I have now and there really is no comparison between it and the stock caliper set ups I've used. I wouldn't waste the money on something with the stock calipers. Sell them to the 240 guys and put the $200 towards the new set up.
