Centric 105.09830 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 105.09830 is built for front brake service on select Mercedes-Benz performance models. It uses a ceramic friction formula with integrally molded attachment, precision fit backing plates, and shims to help maintain consistent braking feel and reduce pad vibration.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on OE-style construction and controlled break-in. For Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, SLR McLaren, CL55 AMG, and related AMG applications, this pad set is engineered to deliver stable friction characteristics, even wear, and a cleaner installation profile.

• Ceramic friction material for smooth, consistent braking performance
• Positive-molded construction for uniform density across the pad
• Integrally molded friction attachment for durable bond strength
• Precision cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce noise and vibration
• Scorched surface to remove impurities and speed initial bed-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use

Detailed Product Overview

Centric 105.09830 is part of the Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets line, a product family built around OE-style manufacturing methods and application-specific friction compounds. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain consistent density for more even wear and predictable pedal response over the life of the pad. The ceramic compound, combined with the included shims and precision backing plate design, supports quiet operation in demanding front brake applications.

This part cross-references Gates 23943 and 23944 for the same application. It is a direct-fit front brake pad option for Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and other listed AMG models, and the part number 105.09830 is commonly searched by buyers looking for a front Mercedes-Benz brake pad set with OE-style construction.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Harsh or noisy braking during stop-and-go driving
• Extended break-in time after pad replacement
• Fitment concerns on calipers that require precise backing plate geometry

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify front axle fitment against the vehicle listing before installation. This pad set is listed for front use on 2003-2008 Mercedes-Benz applications, including 2007-2008 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, front; 2005-2008 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, front; 2004-2007 Mercedes-Benz SL600, front; 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, front; 2005-2006 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG, front; 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLS55 AMG, front; 2006 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, front; 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, front; 2006 Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG, front; 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, front; 2005-2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG, front; and 2003-2005 Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG, front. Some applications note 4-piston or 8-piston caliper configurations, so confirm caliper type before service.

Clean the rotor surface, inspect hardware condition, and follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation. The pads are prepared for wear sensor use, but no pad wear sensor is included.
