Product Line Details: Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets

The Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Sets line focuses on delivering ceramic-based brake pads engineered for quieter operation and longer pad life. This product line integrates advanced friction material attachment methods, such as integrally molded friction material, to enhance pad durability and performance. The 301.08851 part number is part of this line, ensuring compatibility and quality for Toyota Highlander vehicles requiring ceramic disc brake pads.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake pad set features ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The pads are integrally molded, which means the friction material is securely bonded to the backing plate, improving wear resistance. The set includes four pads with dimensions approximately 1.461 inches (37.1 mm) in height, 3.661 inches (93 mm) in width, and 0.587 inches (14.9 mm) in overall thickness for both inner and outer pads. Mounting hardware and pad shims are included to ensure proper installation and noise reduction. While the pads are prepared for a pad wear sensor, the sensor itself is not included in this set.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake pads on Toyota Highlander
• Reduces brake noise and vibration through included shims and ceramic material

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric Premium Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set 301.08851 on a Toyota Highlander, ensure the mounting hardware and pad shims are properly positioned to minimize noise and vibration. Since the pads are prepared for a wear sensor, verify if your vehicle requires a sensor and install it separately if needed.
