Brake Calipers

The Colette Brake Caliper goes on and on and on and on…… a TRW success over the years

Colette, the world’s most popular caliper (designed and developed by TRW in 1975) continues to be fitted to over 170 models produced by over 30 motor vehicle manufacturers worldwide. And TRW continues to innovate for new models and the aftermarket.

TRW Automotive has manufactured over 350 million calipers to date which gives us unparalleled expertise in the aftermarket.

Great Ideas

While leading the way in caliper design and manufacture, our engineering teams have come up with many new developments that introduce these principles into new products such as Electric Park Brake (EPB), painted calipers (download the latest list of TRW painted calipers here) and performance calipers.

Green Safety

Not only does the remanufacturing of chassis parts reduce cost, it also reduces the environmental impact of natural resource usage and energy consumption.

All remanufactured calipers are 100% checked, cleaned, worn components replaced, reassembled, and 100% line tested.

Quality You Can Trust

Quality is never compromised at TRW and no more so than with our remanufacturing standards, so you can be assured that only those that pass the tests are passed on to you.

For new calipers, our aftermarket customers just get exactly the same OE/OES part, delivered from one of our five original equipment factories in Europe.

Thinking Of You

Because we understand the needs of installers, we ensure that everything from ordering to fitting is as easy as possible. So as a TRW customer you can enjoy the convenience of buying a wide range of new and remanufactured products from the same source, with the same level of warranty. Every box contains the caliper - pre-filled with fluid, all fitting accessories and multi-lingual fitting instructions.
