Brake Engineering Brake Calipers

IT'S NOT EASY BEING A BRAKE CALIPER!


Modern vehicle brake systems have to withstand far more abuse and stresses than they did say 30 years ago, with technology developments also placing higher demands on individual components, such as brake calipers.

Extremes of temperature during extended use, ABS and traction control all put extra load on the caliper, as opposed to earlier standard systems. Cars have also become heavier over time and performance has increased so the brake caliper is having to work harder to control both the weight and speed of the vehicle.

Add to this the great British weather mix of ice, snow, salt, rain, and the odd hot spell, it is understandable that brake calipers will eventually fail due to corrosion, dirt ingress or general wear.

DID YOU KNOW?
All of our Brake Engineering brake calipers are fitted with new pistons and sliders made on site on the latest CNC multi-spindle machines. We fit 100% new rubber components (subjected to stringent quality inspection) and subject each unit to multi-stage high and low pressure testing.

Every unit is also given an electroplating finish, free of Chrome 6 which means a longer lifespan of the caliper and less damage to the environment.

EPB CALIPERS, NEW TO RANGE
We also supply a full range of quality Electric Park Brake (EPB) calipers, including brand new to range VW Golf MK VII and Audi A3.
