The CPP front caliper pistons are among the largest available with a 2 15/16-inch bore and a piston area of 6.8 square inches. A pair of zinc-plated backing plates helps deflect debris from interfering with the brake rotor and caliper. The rear calipers are big and incorporate an integral parking brake. Rear calipers feature a 2-inch bore and have a piston area of 3.1 square inches. The rear brake lines are all pre-bent for exact fitment, connecting with flare fittings to either rubber or stainless braided Teflon brake hoses with banjo fittings connecting to the calipers.
