Construction & Design

The calipers are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that reduces unsprung mass while maintaining structural integrity. The black powder coat finish protects against corrosion and wear, ensuring the calipers retain their sleek appearance and performance over time.

The 14-inch rotors are crafted from premium cast iron and feature precision-machined slots. These slots enhance cooling and help evacuate debris, maintaining consistent braking performance during aggressive driving or off-road conditions. The radial mount caliper design increases stiffness and reduces flex under heavy braking, resulting in a more responsive and consistent pedal feel.

All components are engineered to work seamlessly with the Jeep Wrangler JK’s factory disc spindle, simplifying installation and preserving the factory brake system’s functionality.
