Features of the C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets by Centric are designed to meet the demands of daily driving and moderate performance needs. The ceramic friction material composition ensures reduced brake dust and quieter operation compared to semi-metallic pads. Each set contains four pads, covering both left and right sides, with pad shims included to minimize noise and vibration. The friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, enhancing pad integrity and wear consistency. These pads do not include a pad wear sensor and are not prepared for one, so sensor replacement is not required.
