Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Pagid disc brake caliper features a fixed design with two steel pistons, each measuring 57 mm in diameter, providing consistent clamping force for effective braking. The caliper body is constructed from lightweight aluminum, which helps reduce unsprung weight and improve vehicle handling. The gray powder-coated finish offers corrosion resistance and durability under typical driving conditions.

The caliper includes a single bleeder screw with a protective cap, facilitating brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The inlet fitting type is M10 x1-6h, and the mounting hole diameter is 125.5 mm, ensuring proper fitment on the front axle of compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
