The automotive brake caliper is the brake part which houses the brake pads and pistons. Your brake calipers are essential to your car’s ability to stop and are arguably one of the most important automobile brake parts on your vehicle. There are two types of brake calipers floating or fixed, which we do service both. We do offer a wide variety of performance automotive brake calipers.
Master Cylinder – Is your master cylinder going bad? Your master cylinder provides the needed pressure that is required to engage your brakes. Hence if your master cylinder isn’t working your brakes may not be working. The master cylinder is a control device that converts non-hydraulic pressure into hydraulic pressure. Not only does brake systems require a master cylinder but a lot of transmission clutch systems require a master cylinder.
