1. A brake apparatus for a vehicle, comprising:
a torque member surrounding a brake disk and having a pair of brake pads spaced apart from each other;
a caliper covering the torque member and having at least one gravitational center adjuster block configured to adjust a position of a gravitational center of the caliper toward the brake disk;
a pair of guide rods configured to connect the torque member and the caliper such that the caliper is slidably coupled to the torque member; and
an actuator mounted on the caliper,
wherein the caliper comprises:
a first caliper portion having a pair of coupling holes at which the pair of guide rods is coupled to the first caliper portion;
a second caliper portion extending from the first caliper portion in a first direction, wherein the actuator is mounted on the second caliper portion;
a third caliper portion extending from the first caliper portion, bent in a second direction and surrounding the torque member;
a fourth caliper portion extending from the third caliper portion, bent in the first direction and facing the second caliper portion; and
the at least one gravitational center block connected to the fourth caliper portion and configured to adjust the position of the gravitational center of the caliper, and wherein the at least one gravitational center block comprises:
a first gravitational center adjusting block protruding from a first side of the fourth caliper portion in the first direction,
a second gravitational center adjusting block protruding from a second side of the fourth caliper portion in the second direction, and
the first gravitational center adjusting block has a first thickness different from that of the second gravitational center adjusting block.
