Centric 105.18950 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Rear Ceramic Brake Pads for Audi

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets deliver OE-style fit and consistent braking performance for rear brake service. This Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets application uses a ceramic friction formula with integrally molded backing and included shims to help control noise and vibration on Audi Q7, Audi Q8, and Audi A8 Quattro rear brake systems.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for stable everyday braking
• Positive molding process for consistent friction density
• Integrally molded friction attachment for uniform pad construction
• Pad shims included to help reduce brake noise
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use

Product Details

Centric’s Posi-Quiet line focuses on OE-style construction details that matter in real-world brake service. The pads are manufactured with a positive molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure, helping maintain even density across the pad face for consistent wear and braking feel. For rear brake applications on the Audi Q7, Audi Q8, and Audi A8 Quattro, this part number 105.18950 is built with ceramic friction material, mechanically attached shims, and a scorched surface to support a smoother bedding process. Part number 105.18950 is also cross-referenced to Gates 22307 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Harsh initial brake feel during break-in
• Poor caliper fit from imprecise backing plate dimensions
• Noise and vibration concerns during rear brake service

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2016-2020 Audi Q7, rear; 2019-2020 Audi Q8, rear; and 2019 Audi A8 Quattro, rear, to 11/25/19. Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware condition, and sensor preparation before installation. This part number 105.18950 is prepared for pad wear sensor use, but a wear sensor is not included. Mounting hardware is not listed as included.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and adds a scorching process to remove impurities and pre-burnish the friction surface. The result is a brake pad set built around consistent material density, controlled noise characteristics, and reliable rear brake service for Audi applications.
