From their
core return guidelines, it appears they remanufacture whatever they get back. So my take is that it's not necessarily, maybe even not likely, that it's a Toyota caliper. Which could be a good thing I guess. LOL
The fact that PowerStop only guarantees their calipers for 3 years or 36K bugs me a bit since AutoZone for example has a lifetime warranty. And now on reading this more closely, does DIY installation void the 3/36 warranty or just the 60-day exchange? How do you guys interpret this?

POWERSTOP BRAKE KITS WITH CALIPERS (KCL KITS WITH Z16, Z23, Z26, Z36, OR Z37 PADS), PURCHASED AND INSTALLED AS A KIT:
If a customer is not satisfied with the quality and performance of a kit for any reason
within 60 days of the invoice date or the installation date by a professional technician (an invoice from the installation shop is required), and the required break-in procedure was implemented, PowerStop LLC will provide a one-time exchange of the kit for a new one. This no-questions-asked, 60 day warranty must be facilitated by the authorized PowerStop retailer.
PowerStop LLC warrants this product to be free from defects and poor workmanship for 3 years from the purchase date or 36,000 miles of use, whichever occurs first. The product,
when properly installed on the type of vehicle prescribed, and in which a defect in workmanship and material is found, will be exchanged free of charge if returned to the seller who is authorized to give this warranty. PowerStop LLC is not responsible for its products when they are subjected to misuse, abuse, improper application, improper installation, or accident. This warranty includes rotor cracking. Normal wear is not covered by this warranty. Failure of components due to using non-approved DOT 5 Silicone brake fluid is not covered by this warranty. This warranty also excludes stripped bleeder and banjo bolt holes caused by over-tightening. The 3-year/36,000-mile warranty excludes failure of components due to disc thickness variation (DTV*), usually indicated by brake pulsation.
