This particular set, part number 103.16280, includes four disc brake pads with integrally molded ceramic friction material, ensuring consistent wear and heat resistance. The pads come with pre-installed shims to help reduce vibration and noise during braking. While the set is prepared for a pad wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included. The outer and inner pad dimensions are precisely engineered for a proper fit on Toyota Yaris models, with an overall thickness of 0.622 inches (15.8 mm) and a width of 7.488 inches (190.2 mm).

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Centric C-TEK Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 103.16280 requires removal of the existing brake pads and inspection of the rotor surface. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse of existing hardware or separate purchase may be necessary. Ensure the brake caliper slides and hardware are clean and lubricated to prevent uneven pad wear. The pads are prepared for a wear sensor, so if your Toyota Yaris is equipped with one, transfer or install the sensor accordingly. Proper bedding-in of the new ceramic pads is recommended to optimize braking performance and longevity.
