As a critical component of the braking system, these calipers are designed to replace the original equipment with superior performance and reliability, meeting the high standards expected by automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike.
Manufactured by Power Stop, a reputable brand known for its commitment to quality and innovation in braking technology, these calipers are remanufactured in Power Stop’s Chicago, IL facility. Each unit undergoes a rigorous process including pressure testing to ensure piston integrity and leak prevention, guaranteeing safety and consistent braking performance. The calipers come equipped with new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips, all assembled with meticulous attention to detail.
One of the key features of these performance brake calipers is their electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating. This coating not only enhances the aesthetic appeal with a vibrant finish that stands out behind wheels but also provides exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, significantly extending the service life of the calipers. The coating is easy to clean, ensuring that the calipers maintain their appearance and functionality over time, even under demanding driving conditions.
The calipers utilize high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots combined with premium silicone lubricant, which contributes to smoother operation and durability in extreme environments. This careful selection of materials and components ensures that the calipers perform reliably under both everyday driving and more aggressive, performance-oriented scenarios.
Power Stop’s dedication to quality is evident in the comprehensive testing and assembly process, which ensures that each caliper meets stringent safety and performance standards. This product is ideal for BMW owners seeking to upgrade their braking system with components that offer enhanced stopping power, durability, and a professional finish.
