• Positive molded construction for consistent material density
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates to support proper caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to remove impurities and speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free friction formulation
• Pad wear sensor included and prepared for wear sensor use
• Mounting hardware included where applicable
• Pad shims included

Product Line Details

Centric Posi-Quiet Extended Wear brake pads are part of Centric’s brake friction line focused on consistent performance and reduced noise. The line uses manufacturing and finishing steps commonly associated with OE-style brake pad production, including molded friction material, shim attachment, and surface scorching to support predictable bedding and everyday braking behavior.

Detailed Description

Centric 106.10330 is a rear disc brake pad set with semi-metallic friction material, integrally molded attachment, and a pad wear sensor included. The pad dimensions measure 40.600 mm in height, 113.800 mm in width, and 13.700 mm in overall thickness, helping support proper rear brake service on the listed applications.
