1. A device comprising:
a. a caliper comprising:
i. one or more piston bores housing a piston;iii. a bridge;iv. an outboard pad retainer located opposite the one or more piston bores, and the bridge extending between the one or more piston bores and the outboard pad retainer:v. one or more fasteners; andvi. a shoulder;wherein the caliper is attached directly to a knuckle of an automobile via the one or more fasteners connecting the shoulder to the knuckle of the automobile;wherein the caliper moves from a home position to a brake-on position during brake apply and the caliper in the home position forms an angle of about 88 degrees or more measured between a plane extending along the piston bore axis and a plane extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor and the caliper in the brake-on position moves so that the angle formed between the piston bore axis and the plane extending perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the rotor form an angle of about 92 degrees or more.
