About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include critical hardware such as mounting brackets and abutment clips, but exclude brake pads and pad wear sensors. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with original equipment specifications. The 141.33166 model exemplifies this balance, offering a cast iron floating caliper with a single steel piston designed for consistent braking performance on various Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
