About Calipers

The caliper holds your brake pads and squeezes them against the rotor when you press the pedal. A sticking or leaking caliper can cause uneven braking and pad wear, so it's worth replacing when it's worn.

Our range includes single replacement calipers. Select your vehicle at the top of the page to see calipers that fit, and check whether you need the left or right hand side. For upgrades, see brake upgrade kits. Not sure what you need? Call us on 02 9413 3166.

Calipers FAQs

What is a brake caliper?

A brake caliper holds the brake pads and sits over the rotor. When you press the pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the caliper's piston or pistons out, which clamps the pads onto the rotor to slow the wheel.

How does a disc brake caliper work?

Pressing the pedal sends brake fluid from the master cylinder to the caliper. The fluid pushes the piston outward, forcing the pads against the rotor. When you release the pedal, the seals pull the piston back slightly so the pads stop dragging.

What are the signs of a sticking brake caliper?

Common signs include the car pulling to one side, a burning smell, one wheel much hotter or dustier than the others, uneven pad wear, or the car feeling like it's dragging. A sticking caliper should be fixed quickly, as it can overheat the brakes.

Can I paint my brake calipers?

Yes, using a heat resistant caliper paint. Clean and degrease the caliper well, mask the rotor, pads and rubber seals, and keep paint off the piston and sliding surfaces. Let it cure fully before driving.

Should brake calipers be replaced in pairs?

It's generally recommended to replace calipers on both sides of the same axle, so the braking force stays balanced. Always bleed the brakes after replacing a caliper.
