BCC Front Caliper Upgrade - Jaguar E-Type S3 - Vented Disc
A precision-engineered 4-piston caliper upgrade from BCC Performance Braking, delivering improved braking efficiency for the Jaguar E-Type Series 3 V12 while retaining original fitment and hydraulic compatibility.
These calipers fit the original equipment vented brake disc.
Key features
- Direct bolt-on replacement for the original Girling front brake calipers, with no permanent modification required to suspension components, uprights or hubs.
- 4-piston aluminium caliper design providing increased clamping force and more even pad wear, improving braking response and stability under braking.
- High-grade construction using aerospace-quality aluminium caliper bodies, anodised for corrosion resistance, with stainless steel pistons and high-quality seals for long-term reliability.
- Complete kit contents including a pair of BCC 4-piston calipers, brake pads (EBC Ultimax compound supplied as standard), pad pins, retaining hardware, bleed nipples, and feed and bridge lines.
- Improved heat control through external bridge pipe design, reducing brake fluid and caliper temperatures to help resist brake fade during sustained driving.
- OEM hydraulic compatibility, designed to operate with the original master cylinder and Dunlop braking system for straightforward installation and dependable performance.
Why choose this upgrade
- Significantly improved stopping performance compared with the original Girling braking system, increasing confidence in modern traffic conditions.
- More consistent brake pedal feel and improved modulation as a result of the fixed multi-piston caliper layout.
- Precision testing and quality control ensure each caliper meets UK ISO9001 manufacturing standards.
- Designed to work with the original solid brake disc while providing improved brake cooling characteristics similar to those associated with vented disc systems.
