About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This semi-loaded design includes essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This allows for flexibility in maintenance and replacement, catering to professional installers and DIY enthusiasts who may prefer to reuse existing hardware or select specific brake pads. The 141.34069 caliper benefits from this design approach, offering a durable aluminum casting and a single steel piston for consistent braking on compatible BMW vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single 60 mm steel piston, providing reliable clamping force and smooth operation. The aluminum caliper casting reduces unsprung weight, contributing to improved vehicle handling. The caliper includes a gray finish and comes with a mounting bracket and abutment clips to ensure proper installation alignment. The bleeder screw, with an M10x1.0 thread size, is included to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. While the caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, it is compatible with friction materials meeting the FMSI pad number 10x.09180. The inlet thread size is M10-1.00, matching standard brake line fittings for the specified BMW models.
