Default Calipers/Pads

I did a search on here and on Accordinglydone.com (which right now seems to be down) and I can not find out how to tell if you have the Akebono calipers or Nissin Calipers. I work at a parts store and it would help me to be able to tell people in that aspect as well. TIA.

My calipers have Nissin written right on them. I'll see if I can get a picture for you tonight while I'm searching down there for my mystery noise.

Cool, thanks. But does anyone know a surefire way of telling what car has which calipers? Working at a parts store this is a common thing with the early 90's Honda's.

See thats the thing, I work at Advance Auto and when you look up brakes for the thing under the selections it says, "With Akebono Calipers" or "With Nissin Calipers".
