Detailed Product Description

This Pagid disc brake caliper features a fixed design with two steel pistons, each measuring 57 mm in diameter, providing balanced and effective clamping force. The aluminum caliper casting reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the powder-coated gray finish helps resist corrosion and wear.

It is designed specifically for front axle use and fits Mercedes-Benz models including the C230, CLK350, SLK280, SLK300, and SLK350. Note that this caliper does not include pads, mounting hardware, or anti-rattle springs, so these components must be sourced separately.
