About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This semi-loaded design includes essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier integration with existing brake components while maintaining quality and durability standards expected from Centric.

Detailed Product Description

This Centric disc brake caliper features a cast iron body and a single 38mm steel piston, providing robust and consistent braking force. The floating caliper design allows for smooth movement and even pad wear. The inlet fitting uses a banjo type with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The included mounting bracket and abutment clips simplify installation, while the bleeder screw with matching thread size ensures proper brake fluid evacuation during maintenance. The gray finish and casting number 6602 identify this caliper as a reliable replacement part for the specified vehicle models.
