Centric Posi Quiet Brake Pads: Fade-Free Stopping without the Noise

Some disc brake pads can be kind of noisy as they go about their business of stopping your vehicle. The main cause is pad vibration due to poor fit in the brake calipers.

Centric’s Posi Quiet Brake Pads offer excellent, fade-free stopping power without the noise. Posi Quiet pads feature precision-cut or shaved backing plates plus mechanically attached shims to ensure proper fitment in the caliper. That virtually eliminates noise associated with pad vibration.

Posi Quiet brake pads are made with a positive molding process that eliminates impurities in the friction material. That helps the pads wear more evenly and provide more consistent, fade-free performance. Centric even uses a “scorching” process that forces any impurities out of the friction material and also burnishes the pads to greatly accelerate the break-in process.

Summit Racing carries three types of Posi-Quiet Brake Pads:
• Semi-Metallic Brake Pads feature copper-free friction materials for stable performance and even wear across a wide temperature range—perfect for daily-driven vehicles
• Extended Wear Brake Pads have a semi-metallic friction material that is long-wearing and reduces brake rotor wear
• Ceramic Brake Pads offer the longest wearing friction materials, stable performance, and generate far less dust than semi-metallic pads

Centric Posi Quiet Brake Pads are available for a wide range of domestic and import vehicles from the 1960s to today.
