What's the difference between these Brembo calipers and the OEM ones for the Type-S?

Hi there, I found out my driver side Brembo caliper has seized bolts and thus would need a caliper replacement.

I found this online for much cheaper than what was quoted from the OEM website. Is there a difference at all?

Those re-manufactured Centrics would be fine. You can get them cheaper ($123.89 after core charge) from rockauto.com

Just got these as well. They DO NOT include the Acura decal on the calipers, and are not included (even if they're pictured.)

That seems odd. I don't have them myself but would've assumed they would have it. Where'd you get them from? They should be painted on, not decals.

If you destroy the caliper, better make certain Rock Auto will accept the caliper as a core.
I'd remove the caliper and fix the hole(s) that will be destroyed.

I got mine from a seller on ebay, don't remember which one. They came in the centric boxes. I think they sandblast all the paint off and paint or powder coat them again. The paint was fresh when I got them, again just no "Acura."
