Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies.

This approach allows for flexibility in brake system maintenance and replacement, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for Honda Odyssey brake hydraulics.

Technical Description and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body that withstands high temperatures and mechanical stress. The single piston, measuring 38mm in diameter and made of steel, delivers consistent clamping force to the brake pads. The caliper’s inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Included mounting brackets and abutment clips facilitate proper alignment and secure installation. The gray finish offers corrosion resistance while maintaining a factory look. Bleeder screws with M10x1.0 thread size are included to assist with brake fluid bleeding and maintenance.
