Centric 105.17280 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 105.17280 is built for front brake service on select Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-3, Mazda 3, and Mazda 3 Sport applications. This Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 105.17280 uses a ceramic friction formula with molded construction, shims, and wear sensor provisions to support consistent braking feel and quieter operation.

Posi-Quiet Ceramic Brake Pad Line

The Centric Posi-Quiet line is engineered with OE-style positive molding, which compresses the friction material under high pressure for uniform density across the pad. Centric also uses precision-cut or shaved backing plates, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process to remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction surface for faster break-in.

What This Brake Pad Set Helps Address

• Brake noise from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Brake pedal feel changes from worn front pads
• Brake dust and harsh ceramic-to-rotor contact issues
• Delayed break-in after pad replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor condition, caliper hardware condition, and sensor routing before installation. The pad set is prepared for wear sensor use and includes a wear sensor, so verify the vehicle’s front brake sensor setup before service. Clean the caliper bracket and pad contact points, then follow the proper bedding procedure after installation to help the friction material seat correctly.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and additional scorching to improve consistency and reduce impurities in the friction material. The design also uses shims and backing-plate finishing details to support proper fitment in the caliper and quieter operation. Cross-reference part numbers for the same application include Wagner Brake QC1728 and Raybestos Brakes EHT1728H.
