This product line features semi-metallic friction material integrally molded to the backing plate, which improves pad stability and reduces noise. The inclusion of mounting hardware and pad shims simplifies installation and helps maintain proper pad alignment.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets includes the supplied mounting hardware and pad shims, which should be installed as per manufacturer instructions to ensure proper fit and function.
