Centric 104.05550 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 104.05550 is built for front brake service on select Audi applications, including Audi A6, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi 100, and Audi 100 Quattro. This Centric brake pad set uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding to support consistent braking feel and even pad wear.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Positive-molded friction material for consistent density across the pad
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Pad wear sensor included and prepared for wear sensor use
• Mounting hardware included where applicable

Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet line focuses on stable braking performance and reduced noise through OE-style manufacturing methods. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain uniform density for more even wear over the life of the pad. For added refinement, the pads use shims and carefully finished backing plates to help control vibration at the caliper. Part number 104.05550 also includes a pre-burnished, scorched friction surface to help shorten the normal break-in period. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes PGD555M and Wagner Brake MX555 for the same application.

What This Brake Pad Set Helps Address

• Front brake noise caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer initial break-in after brake pad replacement
• Brake pedal feel changes from worn front pads
• Service needs on Audi A6, Audi A6 Quattro, Audi 100, and Audi 100 Quattro front brakes
