Car modification can not only improve the performance of a car, but also show its own personality. I believe that many young people are full of love for modified cars. But for those who are new to the field of modification, they will worry about a lot of things before modification, and they are afraid that the things that come out are illegal modification. Is it legal to modify the brake calipers? Can it pass the annual inspection if only the color of the calipers is changed?

Normally, it is legal to modify the brake calipers, but the premise is to install the brake calipers with genuine specifications, and the braking performance must exceed the prescribed set standards (as shown in the figure below), otherwise it will be regarded as illegal modification. Secondly, you have to choose calipers according to the model. It is necessary to know that excessive braking force is likely to cause the tires to lock up.No matter how much ABS and EBD, I am afraid that it will not have much effect.Then we stillIt should be noted that the modification of the brake caliper requires attention to the filing of the vehicle management, otherwise it will definitely not pass the annual inspection, after all, it has involved changing the design of the vehicle.

As for whether the color change can pass the annual inspection, if the caliper is only painted to change to another color, it will generally pass the annual inspection. After all, it has no effect on the brake system. It is just sprayed with a layer of high-temperature paint on the surface. I won't say that you will be fined for changing the color. Of course, this still depends on the local annual inspection standards, which may be stricter or not necessarily, so it is better to go to the vehicle management office to inquire.
