The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10 mm thread diameter, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines.

About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and bare calipers by including essential hardware such as mounting brackets and bleeder screws, but excluding pads and pad wear sensors. This approach provides flexibility for technicians and vehicle owners who prefer to reuse existing pads or select specific friction materials. The 141.42557 model exemplifies this design philosophy, delivering reliable performance and ease of installation for Nissan and INFINITI brake systems.
