Details on Centric OE Coated - 2 Wheel Disc Brake Kits

The Centric OE Coated - 2 Wheel Disc Brake Kits product line focuses on providing direct replacement brake components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. The black e-coat finish on the rotors offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard rotors, which helps maintain braking efficiency over time. This kit includes vented iron rotors designed to improve heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The brake pads feature positively molded friction material with shims to minimize noise and vibration, using Posi Quiet friction material for consistent stopping power.

Product Description and Features

This disc brake kit, part number 909.45038, is engineered for front axle use on compatible Mazda vehicles including the Mazda 3, Mazda 3 Sport, and Mazda CX-3. The vented iron rotors help maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy braking conditions. The black e-coat finish protects the rotor surface from rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial in humid or wet environments. The brake pads are constructed with positively molded friction material and include shims to reduce noise and ensure smooth engagement. This kit does not include electronic wear sensors, so it is suitable for vehicles without this feature.
