TRQ Front Left Right Brake Caliper w/Bracket - Direct Fit Replacement

In this review the TRQ Front Left Right Brake Caliper w/Bracket is examined for DIYers and independent mechanics who need a direct replacement for specific Honda and Acura models. The bottom line: this caliper is best for owners seeking a straightforward, pre-assembled swap that restores braking function without fabrication; customers consistently praise its fit and overall value. Installation is simplified by the included mounting bracket and hardware, and the cast iron construction with zinc coating aims to deliver durable service life for routine driving conditions.

Key Features

• Direct fit with bracket: Comes pre-assembled with the mounting bracket and hardware to reduce installation time and eliminate modification for compatible vehicles.
• Cast iron construction: A robust caliper casting provides the strength expected of a standard replacement part for front brake service.
• 54 mm piston: The single 54 mm steel piston is sized to match original equipment specifications for consistent brake feel and power delivery.
• Zinc coated finish: The zinc coating offers long lasting rust prevention to protect the caliper in wet or salty conditions.
• Broad compatibility references: Multiple reference numbers and cross-references simplify parts matching for 2002-2011 Civic, 2002-2006 RSX, and 2007-2008 Fit models.

Who It's For

This caliper is ideal for owners of 2002-2006 Acura RSX, 2003-2011 Honda Civic, and 2007-2008 Fit who want a like-for-like brake caliper replacement that arrives ready to bolt on with its bracket and hardware. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer to "view before you do," using TRQ's support and video resources when available to guide installation.

Those who require high-performance or specialty racing calipers, or who need integrated electronic parking brake components, should look elsewhere; this part is a standard, direct-replacement floating caliper intended for everyday driving and maintenance rather than performance upgrades.
