Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

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

This approach allows for easier integration with existing brake pads and hardware, providing flexibility for maintenance or upgrades on compatible vehicles like the Cadillac CTS and STS.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper features a durable aluminum casting that reduces unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity.

The caliper includes a banjo-type inlet fitting with a 10mm M10x1.0 thread diameter, facilitating secure brake line connection. Additionally, the gray finish helps protect against environmental elements. The assembly comes with a mounting bracket and abutment clips, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, allowing for customization based on your vehicle’s needs.
