What does the silver zinc coating do?

The silver zinc coating on this caliper helps to protect the metal from rust and corrosion. This keeps the caliper looking good and helps it last longer, especially in areas exposed to moisture or road salt.

Do I need to buy anything else to install this caliper?

While this caliper is a direct replacement, it's a good idea to have new brake pads and fresh brake fluid on hand. You'll also want to ensure you have the correct tools for brake line disconnection and bleeding.

Is this caliper sold individually or as a pair?

This part number is for a single front left brake caliper. If you need to replace the caliper on the other side, you will need to order a separate part.
