• CNC machined from aerospace grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum as opposed to cast aluminum like OE calipers for added strength at high temperatures. Reduces compliance which allow for a consistent and proportion pedal feel, and improves responsiveness/modulation characteristics
• 6 piston differential/staggered bore configuration to evenly spread the braking force from the master cylinder to the pistons. Minimize pad taper
• Piston area similar to OEM, minimal change in brake bias. OEM: 50.3cm², Paragon: 50.1cm²
• Each Paragon caliper weighs 6.5 lbs (without pads), save 1.4 lbs of unsprung weight per caliper vs. OEM
• Titanium Nitride (TiN) PVD coating is applied to the stainless steel pistons which provides an extremely durable hard wear surface. Reduce friction between pistons and seals, allowing smooth piston travel. Extend service intervals by protecting the piston surfaces with hard coating
• High temperature piston seals and internal dust seals are utilized to withstand the heat generated under harsh track conditions and extend caliper service life. Internal dust seals will not melt as easily as the external dust boots that are used on the OEM Civic Type R calipers
• Allow use of larger and thicker brake pads, which resist temperature build-up better than smaller ones made of the same material. OEM pad area: 76.2cm², Paragon BBK pad area: 77.4cm². OEM pad thickness: 15mm, Paragon BBK pad thickness: 18mm
• Allow use of larger rotors. Features 72 directional ventilation vanes for improved cooling performance and thermal capacity. Increase brake torque.
• Mil-spec hard anodized finish vs. OEM painted. Will not discolor under extreme heat. Eliminate the clear coat peeling issue of the OEM Brembo calipers
