The Power Stop 01-03 Acura CL Rear Red Calipers with Brackets, SKU S2588, represent a premium upgrade in the category of performance brake calipers. Engineered specifically for enthusiasts and professionals demanding reliability and enhanced braking performance, these calipers are designed to fit a range of Acura and Honda models, including the 1999-2008 Acura TL series, 2001-2003 Acura CL variants, and 2003-2011 Honda Element trims.

Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation in the brake industry, these calipers are remanufactured in their Chicago, IL facility. Each unit undergoes a rigorous process including 100% pressure testing to confirm piston operation and to eliminate any risk of leaks, thereby guaranteeing safety and optimal functionality. The calipers are treated with an electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating, which not only provides an attractive finish but also offers superior resistance against rust and corrosion, significantly extending the service life of the component.
Key features of these calipers include the use of new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips. The incorporation of high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots combined with premium silicone lubricant ensures smoother operation and durability under extreme conditions. This meticulous assembly process underscores PowerStop’s dedication to delivering products that meet stringent business standards and customer expectations.
Installation is straightforward as these calipers bolt directly in place of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers, making them an excellent choice for those seeking to maintain or improve the braking system without extensive modifications. The vibrant red finish not only enhances the visual appeal behind stock or custom wheels but also reflects the high-performance nature of the product.
