Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line is designed to provide a balance between ease of installation and reliable braking performance. This semi-loaded caliper includes essential components such as the bleeder screw and abutment clips, but excludes pads and mounting hardware, allowing for customization based on vehicle requirements. The cast iron caliper body ensures durability under typical driving conditions, while the phenolic piston reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping maintain consistent braking response.
