Brake Calipers
 PBR pioneered the application of aluminium to disc brake calipers in 1975 as a lightweight replacement to cast iron.
PBR's Slimline aluminium brake caliper combines high stiffness, light weight, low-drag design with excellent aesthetics.
The Slimline design can be packaged with much larger brake rotors than conventional caliper designs making it the perfect solution for applications where brake performance and low mass is critical.

Application of Technology
PBR's Slimline brake caliper range extends from single-piston 32mm bore to twin-piston 51mm bore versions making them suitable for a broad range of applications from small passenger vehicles to light trucks.
PBR Slimline brake calipers have been effectively used in production performance applications such as Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang Cobra, Holden Special Vehicle models and Ford Performance Vehicle models as well as light truck and SUV applications such as the Chevrolet Trailblazer and Suburban.
