Why this part is valuable as a core
Housing and carrier are cleaned, tested and re-coated. Pistons, seal kits, guide pins and bleed valves are renewed.
With EPB calipers the electric actuator is added. Complete cores with intact actuator are in corresponding demand.

- Floating calipers front and rear, cars and vans
- Fixed calipers (multi-piston) for premium and sports vehicles
- Brake calipers with electric parking brake (EPB)

Questions about this part
Do you accept seized brake calipers?
Yes. Seized pistons are the most common reason for replacement and are corrected during remanufacturing.
Do you buy EPB calipers with a defective actuator?
Yes, as long as the motor is fitted and the housing is intact.
How should brake calipers be packed?
Drained, ports capped, in mesh boxes or on pallets. We provide packaging material if required.
