What is the benefit of staggered piston sizes in this caliper?

The staggered piston bore sizes, with one at .790 inches and the other at .860 inches, help to promote more even pad wear and a consistent braking feel. This design ensures the pad contacts the rotor evenly during application.

What material is the caliper body made from?

The caliper body is constructed from durable materials chosen to withstand the high heat and stress generated during braking. This ensures reliable performance over time.

Does this caliper come with brake pads or mounting hardware?
