Centric 105.17600 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 105.17600 is built for drivers who want consistent front brake performance with reduced noise and vibration. It uses a positive molding process similar to OE manufacturing, helping maintain even friction density for steady wear and predictable braking on Audi, Volkswagen, and Nissan applications.

The Posi-Quiet line focuses on fit, quiet operation, and stable pedal feel. For vehicles such as the Audi A3, Volkswagen GTI, and Volkswagen Jetta, this front brake pad set is a direct replacement option for everyday street use.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for smooth, controlled braking
• Positive molded construction for consistent pad density
• Integrally molded friction attachment for durable bonding
• Pad shims included to help reduce brake noise
• Prepared for pad wear sensor applications
• Scorched friction surface to help speed initial break-in
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Asbestos-free formulation

Product Details

Centric engineered the Posi-Quiet brake pad line to address common brake complaints such as squeal and vibration. The backing plate design and mechanically attached shims support proper caliper fitment, while the scorching process removes impurities from the friction material and pre-burnishes the pad surface. Part number 105.17600 is a front disc brake pad set for a wide range of compact and performance-oriented vehicles, including the Audi A3, Audi TT, Volkswagen Golf, and Volkswagen GTI.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes EHT1760 and Bendix Premium Copper Free CFC1760 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Brake squeal during light or moderate stops
• Pedal vibration caused by uneven pad contact
• Inconsistent wear from low-density friction material
• Longer break-in time after pad replacement
• Fitment issues related to backing plate and shim design

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment before installation. This pad set is prepared for pad wear sensor use, but a wear sensor is not included. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or replace the vehicle-specific hardware as needed during service. Clean the caliper bracket and inspect rotors, slides, and caliper hardware before installing new pads.
