Purpose and vehicle placement

The presented caliper is designed for the rear right axle of the vehicle, which is important both for selection and subsequent installation. The design, adapted for the 360x26 disc, allows for maintaining the correct geometry of the braking system, the appropriate contact surface between the pad and the disc, and the correct distribution of braking force between the front and rear of the car.

The element was designed specifically for Mercedes R231 series models in the AMG version, thanks to which it maintains factory mounting points, the correct offset relative to the disc, and compatibility with original brake lines and brake pads.

Technical characteristics and benefits of use

The AMG caliper for the 360x26 disc has been developed for stable operation across a wide range of operating temperatures. The properly selected body design promotes even pressure distribution on the pad, which reduces the risk of localized disc overheating and improves braking efficiency during repetitive, dynamic stops.

• Factory fit for the Mercedes R231 AMG braking system.
• Compatibility with a 360 mm diameter and 26 mm thick disc.
• Stable brake pad guidance throughout the entire operating range.
• Ability to maintain stock braking characteristics without interfering with the system's design.

By using an original caliper from the same series, the braking system maintains structural consistency, which is particularly important in higher-power cars, where repeatability and predictability of braking are crucial for safety.

Condition, origin, and cost-effectiveness

The offered caliper belongs to the Brake Calipers and Brackets group and comes from a dismantled Mercedes vehicle. A used OEM element is a solution that allows you to combine factory build quality with significant savings compared to new components. In practice, this means the ability to restore full functionality to the braking system with a rational service budget.

By choosing an original second-hand AMG caliper, you gain:

• a component designed specifically for the given model and braking system version,
• maintenance of stock system operating parameters,
• the possibility of installation without structural modifications.

Selection, installation, and additional technical information

Before purchasing, it is worth verifying the compatibility of the caliper with the specific vehicle configuration, taking into account the equipment version and the type of braking system used. The manufacturer's factory markings, OEM part numbers, and interchangeable numbers are helpful in this regard, allowing for precise matching of the element to a given car.

For proper installation, it is recommended to:

• check the condition of the 360x26 disc and brake pads before installation,
• inspect the brake lines and mounting points on the control arm and steering knuckle,
• properly bleed the system after completing service work.

To better prepare for purchasing a used braking system component and to verify key inspection points, it is worth using the practical checklist described in the article Second-hand braking system: how to safely select discs, calipers, and ABS?, where it is discussed step-by-step what to pay attention to when choosing such components.
