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 ensures even wear. The inclusion of pad shims helps reduce noise and vibration during braking, contributing to a smoother driving experience. These pads do not include mounting hardware or pad wear sensors, simplifying installation for vehicles that do not require these components.
Product Specifications and Features
This disc brake pad set includes four pads, each with an outer and inner pad height of 2.303 inches (58.5 mm), outer pad width of 6.157 inches (156.4 mm), and inner pad width of 6.110 inches (155.2 mm). The overall thickness for both outer and inner pads is 0.709 inches (18 mm). The friction material is ceramic, known for its stable performance and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The pads are prepared without wear sensors and do not come with mounting hardware, making them suitable for vehicles that do not require these features.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Ford Contour, Mercury Cougar, and Mercury Mystique
