Detailed Product Description

This Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper (part number 141.80003) is crafted with a cast iron body to withstand the rigors of braking heat and mechanical stress. The floating caliper type allows the caliper to move laterally, ensuring even pressure distribution across the brake pads. It features two phenolic pistons, which reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to prevent brake fade during extended use. The caliper comes in a gray finish and includes abutment clips and a bleeder screw with a 7/16"-24 thread size, facilitating proper brake bleeding and maintenance.

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers product line is designed to provide a balance between quality and value, offering semi-assembled calipers that reduce installation time while maintaining OEM-level performance. This line is ideal for vehicles requiring dependable brake hydraulics without the need for a full hardware kit or brake pads included.
