A disc brake includes a caliper housing, a pair of friction members, and a piston. The caliper housing includes a support portion and a cylinder portion coupled to the support portion. The cylinder portion has a piston chamber with a fluid inlet opening. The cylinder portion is an independent component from the support portion. Preferably, the caliper housing includes parts constructed of deformed sheet material such as press formed sheet metal. The parts are preferably fixedly coupled together by welding, brazing and bolts. The friction members are coupled to the caliper housing to form a rotor slot. The piston is mounted in the piston chamber to move one friction member between a release position and a braking position. In one embodiment, an integrated mounting member and a flanged cylinder is provided. In another embodiment, a pair of flanged cylinders with a pair of movable pistons is provided.
