About the C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets by Centric are engineered to deliver consistent braking performance with ceramic friction material that is integrally molded to the backing plate. This design enhances pad durability and wear characteristics while minimizing brake dust and noise. The inclusion of pad shims helps further reduce vibration, contributing to a quieter driving experience. These pads do not include mounting hardware or pad wear sensors but are prepared for straightforward installation on compatible vehicles.

Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake pad set includes four pads, designed specifically for use on Ford and Mazda vehicles such as the Ford 626, Mazda MX-6, and Ford Probe. Each pad measures approximately 1.661 inches in height, 4.094 inches in width, and 0.512 inches in overall thickness, ensuring proper fit and function. The friction material is ceramic, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The pads come with shims to help reduce noise and vibration during braking. Note that mounting hardware and pad wear sensors are not included with this set.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on compatible Ford and Mazda models
• Reduction of brake noise and vibration through included pad shims
• Improved braking consistency with ceramic friction material
• Minimizing brake dust buildup on wheels
• Restoring proper braking performance for safe vehicle operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning brake service. Remove the old brake pads and clean the caliper bracket to remove debris. Since mounting hardware is not included, inspect existing hardware for wear and replace if necessary. Install the new Centric C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 103.04000 pads with the included shims to reduce noise. Verify proper pad alignment and caliper function before lowering the vehicle. It is recommended to perform a brake system test after installation to confirm proper operation.
