Product Description and Specifications

The Raybestos FRC11850N disc brake caliper features an aluminum casting that reduces unsprung weight while maintaining structural integrity. Its floating caliper design uses a single 1.5-inch piston to apply even pressure to the brake pads. The included caliper bracket has mounting holes sized at 10.000 mm with a 1.250 thread pitch, ensuring proper fitment and secure attachment. The M10x1 bleeder screw thread allows for standard brake fluid bleeding procedures. This caliper is semi-loaded, meaning it comes with the bracket but requires friction material installation, making it a flexible option for brake system maintenance on Subaru Legacy and Outback vehicles.
