S46R
Rear 4-piston caliper with integrated parking brake for mid-size and large cars
Specifications
S46R — rear compact 4-piston caliper with an integrated drum-type parking brake.
OVERVIEW
S46R is a compact 4-piston rear caliper developed for mid-size, mid-large and large vehicles. The body is forged from aluminium alloy: forging delivers high rigidity, tensile strength, toughness and material density. Compared with cast aluminium calipers, body rigidity is about 50% higher, which reduces the risk of caliper failure in service. The built-in double oil seal (instead of ordinary external dust boots) makes the brake feel and reaction more precise. After anodizing and vacuum coating (CVD) the colour is locked in: the coating does not crack or peel and gives the caliper a metallic sheen and vivid colour. A drum-type parking brake is integrated into the body, so the rear axle needs no separate parking brake mechanism.
HIGHLIGHTS
• Compact 4-piston rear caliper for mid-size and large cars.
• Integrated drum-type parking brake — a compact rear-axle layout with no separate mechanism.
• Four pistons match the vehicle better and improve braking performance.
• After multi-stage testing, performance is about 25% above the stock caliper.
• With high-performance pads it confidently handles intense driving, including mountain roads.
