Centric 105.16830 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front or Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 105.16830 is built for drivers who want consistent braking feel, reduced noise, and OE-style construction. This Centric brake pad set uses a ceramic friction formula with integrally molded attachment, precision fit details, and included shims to support quiet operation on the road.

For shoppers searching for Centric brake pads for Honda Civic or Acura Integra brake pad replacement, this part number 105.16830 is a direct-fit style option for applications that call for a ceramic disc brake pad set with wear-sensor preparation.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for stable everyday braking performance
• Positive molding process for consistent friction density across the pad
• Precision cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial break-in
• Mounting hardware included where applicable
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use; no wear sensor included
• Asbestos-free friction formulation

Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet line focuses on OE-style pad construction and controlled friction characteristics. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure so density stays uniform, which helps support even wear and predictable pedal response over the life of the pad. The ceramic compound is paired with shims and backing-plate finishing details that help control vibration and reduce brake noise.

Part number 105.16830 also includes a scorching process that pre-burnishes the friction surface and helps clear out impurities before installation. This can shorten the normal break-in period and make the pads ready for service sooner. This part cross-references Centric Parts 301.16830 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake squeal during light or moderate stops
• Brake vibration caused by pad movement in the caliper
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Longer-than-expected break-in after pad replacement
• Reduced braking smoothness on daily-driven vehicles

Installation Notes

Verify caliper fitment, pad shape, and wear-sensor preparation before installation. This set is prepared for pad wear sensor use, but no sensor is included. The included shims and mounting hardware should be installed as specified for the vehicle application. Clean the caliper bracket and rotor surfaces, then follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation for proper pad transfer.

For Honda Civic brake pad replacement or Acura Integra front brake service, confirm the vehicle’s exact brake configuration against the application catalog before ordering. Part number 105.16830 is intended for specific disc brake pad applications and should be matched to the correct axle position and hardware style.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and application-specific friction compounds. The brand’s focus on backing-plate finishing, shim attachment, and scorching reflects a design approach aimed at consistent fitment and controlled noise performance. This part number is built as an asbestos-free ceramic brake pad set with hardware included where applicable.
