Centric premium ceramic brake pads are made from Positive Mold technology that uses extreme pressure to attach the friction material to the backing plate. This process provides a more consistent friction material density throughout the lifetime of the brake pad. Centric premium ceramic brake pads are scorched to remove the manufacturing impurities in the friction material. Scorching increases friction levels of the brake pad and enhances the initial pad/rotor bed-in.
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 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 premium ceramic brake pad compounds produce little brake dust and provide longer service than other brake pad formulas.
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.
