Product Line Details: Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets line focuses on delivering quiet braking with ceramic friction technology. This product line integrates friction material that is molded directly to the backing plate, enhancing durability and consistent pad wear. The inclusion of pad shims helps minimize noise and vibration, aligning with the Posi-Quiet design philosophy. These pads are engineered to meet or exceed OE specifications for fit and performance on compatible vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake pad set includes four pads, with outer pad dimensions of approximately 129 mm width, 64.1 mm height, and 17.5 mm thickness, and inner pads measuring 129 mm width, 70.8 mm height, and 17.5 mm thickness. The ceramic friction material is integrally molded to the backing plate, ensuring a secure bond and consistent braking feel. While mounting hardware is not included, the pads come with shims to help reduce noise. The set is prepared for pad wear sensors, allowing easy sensor installation if required by the vehicle.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Mini Cooper and Mini Cooper Clubman
• Reduces brake noise and vibration commonly experienced with metallic pads
• Helps maintain consistent braking performance under normal driving conditions
• Minimizes brake dust buildup on wheels compared to semi-metallic pads
• Supports vehicles equipped with pad wear sensors for timely maintenance alerts

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the wheels are removed before starting installation. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces to remove debris and corrosion. Since mounting hardware is not included, inspect existing hardware for wear and replace if necessary. Install the included pad shims to reduce noise and vibration. If the vehicle uses pad wear sensors, install compatible sensors as this set is prepared for sensor integration. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bolts and perform a brake system test after installation.
