Race Calipers

Caliper Technology
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
The caliper, disc, and pads work as a system: dynamically effecting bite, torque, release, and in
the end, lap times. Performance Friction’s improvement in pad and disc technology transferred to improvements in caliper design, resulting in exceptional speed and reliability. Professional race
teams have seen tremendous success running the Performance Friction package of pads, discs, and
calipers in ALMS, ELMS, Grand-AM DP/GT, NASCAR Nextel Cup/Bush/Truck, Speed World Challenge,
Formula 3, and HGTC.
It's Quicker
1. Monoblock FEA Design reduces caliper deflection for less pedal travel and improved response.
2. Abutment Design for optimized torque takeout, which improves release and control.
3. Bleeder Design protects against thread and seat damage.
4. Integrated Bleeder and Bridge Pipe Guards.
5. High Temperature Aluminum Alloy for stiffness and improved pedal feel at the highest temperatures.
6. Electroless Nickel Coating for durability.
7. Short Aspect Ratio 4-Piston Design for a stiffer caliper body, which reduces drag and temperature as well as improving release and control over 6-piston designs.
8. Patented Piston Cap Design reduces fluid temperature by 100℉(55℃)
9. High Tension Seals for proper piston rollback, which reduces drag and improves consistency.
