Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper is engineered with a cast iron body that provides structural integrity and heat resistance.

The floating caliper design allows for smooth movement and even pad wear. It comes with essential components such as abutment clips, a mounting bracket, and a bleeder screw with a 3/8"-24 thread size, facilitating proper installation and maintenance. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines.

About Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers
