About the TechShield 360 (tm) Product Line
The TechShield 360 (tm) line by Nugeon focuses on delivering brake hydraulics components that combine durability and corrosion resistance. This disc brake caliper benefits from an E-coat finish that helps protect the cast iron housing from rust and wear, making it suitable for the rigorous demands of Chevrolet Corvette braking systems.
