Centric Brake Pads

Centric Brake Pads

All Centric brake pads are manufactured using the same positive molding process utilized by factory suppliers. Positive molding uses extreme pressure to compress the friction material and bond it to the backing plate. This process assures consistent friction material density throughout the pad, resulting in even wear and performance characteristics throughout the life of the brake pad.

Posi-Quiet pads are the only full-line of aftermarket pads that are scorched. This OEM process enhances key friction performance levels. Scorching raises initial cold effectiveness, stabilizes friction levels right out of the box, and provides consistent performance across the entire operating range.

During the scorching phase each brake pad surface is super-heated to simulate the initial break-in process. This additional step removes any uncured bonding agents eliminating the need for initial break-in and reducing noise caused by pad glazing.

Scorching thermally conditions the pad material which yields a more consistent and higher friction level right out of the box. Posi-Quiet friction formulas create less dust keeping wheels cleaner. All Posi-Quiet friction formulas are 100% asbestos free.
