Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set 106.06990 is built for front brake service on a wide range of GM and Cadillac applications.

Product Details

Centric engineered the Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line to address common brake complaints such as squeal and vibration. The pad backing plates are precision cut or shaved for caliper fitment, and the mechanically attached shims help isolate vibration at the pad. A scorching process is applied to remove impurities from the friction material and pre-burnish the pads for a faster initial bedding cycle. Part number 106.06990 is a front brake pad set for vehicles including Buick Century, Buick LeSabre, Buick Park Avenue, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Bonneville, Pontiac Montana, and related Cadillac and Oldsmobile applications.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes EHT699H and Wagner Brake SX818 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal during light or moderate stops
• Brake vibration caused by pad movement in the caliper
• Uneven pad wear from inconsistent friction density
• Extended stopping distance from worn front pads
• Delayed brake response from degraded friction material

Installation Notes

Verify front axle fitment by year, make, model, and VIN notes before installation. This pad set is listed for front positions only and includes a pad wear sensor setup for applications that require it. Clean the caliper hardware, inspect rotors for wear or scoring, and follow the recommended bedding procedure after installation to help the pads seat properly.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures Posi-Quiet pads using an OE-style positive molding process to promote consistent friction characteristics throughout the pad life. The line also uses shims, fitment-focused backing plate preparation, and a scorching step to support stable performance and reduced noise. Part number 106.06990 is an asbestos-free semi-metallic brake pad set built for front brake service.
