Their advantage over the usual iron-made calipers is their lightweight property coupled with strength and firmness. As such is important aspect in terms of the calipers’ ability to withstand the stress and pressure they suffer every time they’re clamped to resist the spinning rotor and bring the vehicle to a stop.
