Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers
The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers semi-assembled calipers that include essential hardware such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, simplifying installation. This product line focuses on providing durable cast iron calipers with steel pistons, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications for vehicles like the Nissan 300ZX. The semi-loaded design means pads and mounting brackets are not included, allowing for customization based on specific brake pad choices.
Technical Specifications and Features
This disc brake caliper features a fixed design with four steel pistons, each measuring 40 mm in diameter, providing even pressure distribution across the brake pads. The caliper body is constructed from cast iron, offering robust resistance to heat and wear. The gray finish helps protect against corrosion. The inlet and bleeder screw threads are standardized at M10x1.0, ensuring compatibility with OEM brake lines and maintenance tools. Abutment clips are included to secure the pads properly, while mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, allowing for flexibility in brake system assembly.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or damaged front or rear disc brake calipers on Nissan 300ZX
- Addresses uneven brake pad wear due to piston malfunction
- Resolves brake fluid leakage from faulty caliper seals
- Improves braking response by restoring proper caliper function
- Suitable for restoring OEM braking performance after caliper failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper alignment with the brake rotor. Since mounting brackets and brake pads are not included, ensure compatible pads and brackets are sourced separately. The included abutment clips and bleeder screw facilitate proper assembly and brake bleeding. Use the M10x1.0 thread size for inlet and bleeder screw connections to match OEM brake lines and tools. Verify piston bore size and caliper fitment with the Nissan 300ZX specifications before installation.
