The Power Stop S7272 brake calipers represent a premium performance upgrade specifically engineered for Volkswagen vehicles, including the 2015-2018 Golf, Golf SportWagen, GTI, and Passat series. These rear red calipers with brackets are designed to fit a wide range of Volkswagen models, delivering enhanced braking power and reliability while maintaining OEM fitment standards. Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation in braking systems, this pair of calipers offers both aesthetic appeal and superior function for discerning automotive enthusiasts.
Power Stop is recognized within the automotive industry for producing high-performance brake components that meet rigorous quality and safety standards. The company’s expertise is reflected in the meticulous remanufacturing process of these calipers, which takes place at their Chicago, IL facility. Each caliper and accompanying bracket undergoes a comprehensive refurbishment, including the application of an electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating. This coating not only enhances the visual appeal by providing a striking, performance-inspired finish but also offers robust resistance against rust and corrosion, thereby extending the service life of the calipers under various driving conditions.
These brake calipers are engineered to bolt directly in place of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers, ensuring a seamless installation process without the need for modifications. The design is optimized to accommodate both stock and custom wheels, allowing vehicle owners to upgrade their braking system without compromising the overall aesthetic of their Volkswagen. The vibrant red finish adds a distinctive touch that stands out behind the wheels, signaling a commitment to performance and style.
Key features of the Power Stop S7272 brake calipers include:
-
Complete Remanufacturing: Each caliper is fully rebuilt with new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips, ensuring all components meet stringent performance criteria.
-
Pressure Tested: Calipers undergo 100% pressure testing to verify piston operation and prevent leaks, guaranteeing optimal safety and reliability.
-
High-Temperature Powder Coating: The electrostatic red powder coating provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, maintaining the caliper’s appearance and function over time.
-
Advanced Materials: Utilizes high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots and premium silicone lubricant to enhance smooth operation and prolong caliper life under extreme conditions.
-
Direct Fitment: Designed to replace stock calipers without modification for a wide range of Volkswagen models, ensuring compatibility and ease of installation.
The Power Stop S7272 calipers are engineered to meet the demands of both daily driving and spirited performance use. Their robust construction and precision assembly contribute to improved braking responsiveness and durability, essential for maintaining vehicle control and safety.

About PowerStop Brakes
When it's time to hit the brakes, PowerStop is a name you can count on. Since 1995, PowerStop has built a strong reputation for quality braking components that deliver dependable stopping power without breaking the bank. From everyday replacement brake pads and rotors to complete front, rear, and four-wheel brake kits, PowerStop has just about everything you need to get your vehicle stopping right. Their popular Z17 Series offers affordable factory-style replacements, while the Z23 Evolution Sport and Z26 Street Warrior lineups bring performance-focused upgrades to the table. For truck owners who tow, haul, or venture off-road, their Z36 Truck & Tow Series is built to handle heavier demands. With carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, upgraded calipers, and complete brake hardware, PowerStop knows how to put together a solid braking system.
Tired of worn-out rotors, squeaky brakes, or wheels constantly covered in brake dust? PowerStop understands that a good brake system should do more than just bring your vehicle to a stop. Their low-dust pad formulations, noise-reducing shims, and carefully matched brake kits are designed to make braking smoother, quieter, and more dependable. One thing we really like about PowerStop is how easy they make a complete brake job. Instead of piecing everything together yourself, many of their kits include the pads, rotors, and hardware needed for the job. Here at Elite Race Fab, we're big fans of quality parts that make sense for the money, and PowerStop fits that description perfectly. Whether you're refreshing your daily driver's brakes or upgrading your truck for some serious towing, PowerStop is a solid choice. After all, making horsepower is fun, but being able to stop when it counts is what really matters.
