Centric 104.01010 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Brake Pads for Front Disc Brakes

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.01010 is built for front disc brake service on select Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Dodge, Toyota, and Honda applications. It uses an OE-style positive molding process to help maintain consistent friction density, even wear, and stable pedal feel across the life of the pad.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, noise control, and break-in performance. For drivers searching for front brake pads for 1976-1979 Honda Civic, 1980-1983 Toyota Corolla, or 1983-1987 Hyundai Pony, this Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.01010 provides a direct replacement option with application-specific construction.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake applications
• Positive molded friction material for consistent density and wear characteristics
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce pad vibration noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial bedding
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Pad shims included
• Prepared for vehicles without a pad wear sensor
• Friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate

Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet brake pad line is engineered with manufacturing steps commonly used by original equipment suppliers. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping create uniform density throughout the pad. Centric also adds a scorching process to pre-burnish the friction surface and help accelerate the break-in period. For front brake service on vehicles such as the Dodge Colt, Toyota Corolla, and Honda Civic, part number 104.01010 is built to support consistent braking performance and reduced noise-related complaints.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Harsh or unstable braking feel during normal street driving
• Extended break-in time after pad replacement
• Fitment issues related to backing plate and shim design

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify front axle fitment before ordering; this pad set is listed for front positions only.
• Inspect rotors, calipers, and slide hardware before installation to avoid repeat noise or pull concerns.
• Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points so the shims seat correctly.
• Follow a proper bedding procedure after installation to establish even transfer material on the rotor.
• Confirm vehicle-specific fitment for 1976-1979 Honda Civic, 1980-1983 Toyota Corolla, 1983-1987 Hyundai Pony, 1986 Hyundai Excel, and 1987 Mitsubishi Precis front brake applications.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line with OE-style production methods, application-specific backing plate preparation, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process to improve consistency and reduce noise-related issues.
