Centric 106.09170 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front or Rear

Centric Posi-Quiet Brake Pads for Porsche

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Set, part number 106.09170, is built for Porsche braking systems that need consistent pedal feel and controlled wear. It uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding, plus shims and hardware for a cleaner, quieter brake service.

Compatible With Porsche Boxster, Cayman, Carrera GT, and 911 front or rear applications listed below, this pad set is a direct-fit option for drivers looking for stable braking performance on street-driven Porsche models.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for balanced stopping performance
• Positive-molded friction material for even density and wear characteristics
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use where applicable

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet line focuses on OE-style construction and noise control. For this 106.09170 brake pad set, Centric uses a positive molding process that compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate. That helps maintain consistent density across the pad, which supports even wear and predictable braking over time. The pads also use integrally molded friction attachment, mechanically attached shims, and a scorching process that pre-burnishes the surface for a faster initial bed-in.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes PGD917M for the same application. It is also listed under Centric Parts 300.09170.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Brake noise from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Longer break-in time after brake service
• Poor caliper fitment from backing plate variation
• Brake service on Porsche Boxster, Cayman, Carrera GT, and 911 front or rear applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor condition, caliper hardware, and sensor requirements before installation. The pads are prepared for pad wear sensor use, but no wear sensor is included. Follow proper brake cleaning and bedding procedures after installation to help the semi-metallic friction material seat correctly.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and adds shims, precision backing plate finishing, and scorching to support consistent performance and reduced noise. The friction material is asbestos free and supplied with the listed installation hardware and shims.
