Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The Centric C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets are constructed with integrally molded ceramic friction material, which enhances pad longevity and provides stable braking performance. This set includes four pads—two outer and two inner—with identical dimensions ensuring balanced wear and consistent contact with the rotor. The pads come with pre-installed shims to reduce noise and vibration during braking. While mounting hardware and pad wear sensors are not included or prepared for, the pads are designed to fit directly into the brake caliper assemblies of compatible vehicles.
