About the Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are designed to provide extended service life and reliable braking performance. The semi-metallic composition offers a balance between effective heat dissipation and wear resistance, making these pads suitable for heavier-duty applications such as Ford's E-Series Econoline vans and F-Series trucks. The integrally molded friction material ensures consistent contact and reduces the risk of premature pad separation.

Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake pad set includes four pads, two inner and two outer, each with precise dimensions to match factory specifications for the listed Ford models. The pads come with mounting hardware and shims to facilitate proper installation and reduce noise. The absence of a pad wear sensor means these pads are designed for vehicles without sensor-equipped brake systems. The friction material is semi-metallic, providing a good balance of braking power and durability under various driving conditions.
