Street Performance Brake Friction
Original Equipment Brake Pads

PosiQuiet brake friction features either precision cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims; these small details ensure proper fitment in the caliper and virtually eliminate noise associated with pad vibration. In addition to these features Centric Parts has added a scorching process to all of its PosiQuiet brake pads. This additional process forces any impurities out of the friction material and pre-burnishes the pads to greatly accelerate the break-in process.

� 100% scorched for easy bed-in.
� 100% shimmed.
� Linear response both cold and hot; never "grabby."
� Quiet Engineered™ to reduce noise
� Less dust than factory NAO pads or harsh aftermarket semi-met materials.

C-Tek brake pads feature a specially formulated metallic friction compound and are available for most applications import and domestic.

StopTech Street Performance brake Pads are engineered to meet the demands of high performance driving situations while maintaining their ability to work in normal driving conditions. StopTech brake pads combine the benefits of premium street brake pads with aggressive friction formulas suitable for track day and autocross use. Para-Aramid composites deliver optimum stopping performance over a wide temperature range and are specially formulated to deliver linear response in both cold and hot conditions. All StopTech Brake pads are 100% positive molded and include OE designed shims to eliminate noise associated with brake pad vibration. In addition each StopTech brake pad is scorched to remove any impurities in the friction material. While this does not eliminate the need to bed-in new pads it does provide improved stopping power right out of the box.

Centric Parts carries a complete line of Original Equipment brake pads. We source all O.E. friction from leading suppliers including Sumitomo, Nissin, Textar, Pagid, DanBlock and Jurid. Each pad is manufactured utilizing O.E. processes and materials.
� O.E.M. or O.E.M. equivalent material formulations.
� Fine blank backing plates for proper caliper fitment.
� Notched for shims.
� Correct hardware installed including sensor wires.
� 100% Positive Molded

Centric Premium Brake Disc
Centric premium rotors feature a double disc ground, taper free finish. Double disc grinding ensures parallelism, eliminates run out and provides near perfect disc thickness variation (DTV). Double disc grinding leaves a non-directional finish on the friction surface area for more effective pad-rotor break in. This special finish also provides quieter and smoother stops.
