Detailed Product Description

This disc brake caliper is a floating type, meaning it moves laterally to apply even pressure on the brake pads. The dual piston design improves braking efficiency by distributing force evenly across the rotor. Constructed from cast iron, the caliper offers durability and excellent heat dissipation, which is critical during heavy braking. The coated surface finish helps protect the caliper from rust and environmental damage, extending its service life. The included bracket simplifies installation and ensures proper alignment with the vehicle’s brake system. The bleeder screw with M7x1 thread allows for straightforward brake fluid bleeding, maintaining optimal hydraulic performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Common Applications

• Upgrading brake hydraulics on Subaru Forester vehicles
• Restoring braking performance on Subaru Impreza cars
• Addressing uneven brake pad wear or sticking calipers
• Fixing brake fluid leaks or reduced braking responsiveness

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is fully depressurized before removing the old caliper. Use the included bracket for proper mounting and verify the mounting hole size and thread pitch match the vehicle specifications.
