Detailed Description

Centric’s Posi-Quiet Extended Wear line focuses on brake pad consistency and noise control. The positive molding process compresses the friction material under high pressure and bonds it to the backing plate, helping maintain uniform density across the pad surface. That construction supports even wear and predictable braking characteristics over the life of the pad. Part number 106.12650 also includes shims and a scorching process that pre-burnishes the friction material to help shorten the initial break-in period.

This Centric Posi-Quiet brake pad set is a strong fit for shoppers comparing 106.12650 against other OE-style disc brake pad options for Honda Civic brake service and other vehicles using the same application. The semi-metallic formulation is asbestos free and built for everyday street use where stable friction and reduced noise are priorities.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake squeal caused by pad vibration
