Product Details

Centric engineered the Posi-Quiet brake pad line to address common brake complaints such as noise and vibration. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping maintain uniform performance across the pad surface. On this 106.07500 application, the rear pad design is paired with shims and backing plate details that support proper caliper fitment on the Camaro and Firebird rear brake setup.

This part cross-references Gates 23975 for the same application. If you are searching for rear brake pads for 1998-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, rear or 1998-2002 Pontiac Firebird, rear, this Centric Posi-Quiet set is the direct fitment-focused option.
