Centric 106.09290 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Centric Posi-Quiet Front Brake Pads

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pad Sets are built for front brake service on select Subaru and Saab applications. Part number 106.09290 uses a semi-metallic friction formula with OE-style positive molding for consistent density, even wear, and stable braking performance.

This Centric brake pad set is prepared for pad wear sensor use and includes pad shims and mounting hardware where applicable. It is a practical choice for Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, Subaru Impreza, Subaru Forester, Subaru Baja, Subaru XV, and Saab 9-2X front brake replacement.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Positive molded construction for uniform friction density
• Integrally molded friction attachment
• Pad shims included to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use; includes wear sensor provision
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Scorched friction surface to help speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation

Product Details

The Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on consistent pedal feel, controlled wear, and reduced brake noise. Positive molding compresses the friction material under high pressure so the pad maintains even density across the surface. Centric also uses mechanically attached shims and refined backing plate finishing to support proper caliper fitment and reduce vibration. Part number 106.09290 is a front disc brake pad set for vehicles that use this pad shape and sensor configuration, including Subaru Legacy and Subaru Outback front brake applications.

This part cross-references Wagner Brake MX929 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal from pad vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by inconsistent friction density
• Front brake noise during stop-and-go driving
• Delayed pad bedding after installation
• Wear sensor replacement needs on supported vehicles

Installation Notes

• Verify rotor condition and caliper hardware before installation.
• Confirm front axle fitment against the vehicle listing before ordering.
• Use the included shims and hardware during brake service where applicable.
• Follow proper bedding procedures after installation to establish even transfer on the rotor surface.
• Check sensor routing and connector condition on vehicles equipped for pad wear monitoring.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using an OE-style positive molding process and adds scorching to help remove impurities from the friction material before service. The pad design also uses backing plate finishing and shims to support fitment and noise control. Part number 106.09290 is built for front brake applications on select Subaru and Saab models.
