Porsche 911 Rear Brake Caliper - 1983-89 - Left

This rear left brake caliper is a high-quality, brand-new replacement unit for Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera models, covering production from August 1983 to July 1989. Supplied outright with no exchange required, it is ideal for restorations and safety-critical repairs where original cores are worn, seized, or beyond refurbishment.

The rear brake caliper plays a vital role in maintaining correct front-to-rear brake balance on the rear-engined 911. When the brake pedal is applied, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper piston to clamp the brake pads against the rear brake disc. This controlled braking force stabilises the vehicle under braking, improves pedal feel, and prevents excessive load on the front brakes.

Over time, rear calipers on 3.2 Carrera models can suffer from corrosion, sticking pistons, or seal degradation, leading to uneven braking, dragging brakes, poor handbrake performance, or fluid leaks. Replacing the caliper restores proper hydraulic operation, even pad wear, and predictable braking behaviour.

Manufactured to Porsche Classic standards, this caliper features correct piston sizing, accurate mounting geometry, and high-quality seals. It bolts directly to the original mounting points and connects to the factory brake hose without modification.
