Centric premium metallic brake pads are 100% shimmed to reduce pad vibration and noise during braking. The proper fit of the brake pads also affects the vibration and noise generated. Therefore, Centric premium metallic brake pads are precision cut or have shaved backing plates for a proper fit in the caliper body. They feature O.E-style chamfers and gas slots that improve heat dissipation. Centric premium pads are also equipped with OE-style wear sensors.
Centric Premium brake pads provide superior stopping power and reliability for many vehicles, including passenger cars and light-duty trucks. Centric Parts engineers have developed application-specific friction compounds that offer improved stopping performance and reduced noise under braking. Centric premium metallic brake pads are provided with high-performance shims, O.E. style gas slots, and chamfers to optimize braking performance, especially in repeat stop situations.
Centric C-Tek Standard disc brake rotors are designed to meet QS and ISO quality system standards and also to meet original equipment specifications using OE production processes. Centric rotors are engineered using advanced metallurgy to help reduce squeal and are provided with an electrocoating finish that provides long-lasting corrosion protection.
