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 bare caliper assemblies. This semi-loaded caliper includes the mounting bracket and abutment clips but excludes pads and mounting hardware, allowing for customization during installation.

Technical Description and Features
This Centric disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single 54mm steel piston, providing effective clamping force for the Mazda Miata. The caliper casting is made from cast iron, offering strength and heat resistance. It includes a bleeder screw with an M8x1.0 thread size for easy brake fluid bleeding. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The gray finish helps resist corrosion and blends with most brake assemblies. Included mounting brackets and abutment clips facilitate installation, although mounting hardware and brake pads are not included.
Applications and Problem Solving

Ensure compatibility with your specific Mazda Miata model year before installation. This semi-loaded caliper requires separate brake pads and mounting hardware. Use the included mounting bracket and abutment clips for proper alignment. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation using the included bleeder screw. Verify inlet fitting type matches your brake line configuration (banjo or open). Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid damage.
