Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for stable braking performance
• Positive-molded friction material for consistent density across the pad
• Precision-cut or shaved backing plates for caliper fitment
• Mechanically attached shims to help reduce vibration-related noise
• Scorched friction surface to speed initial break-in
• Asbestos-free formulation
• Mounting hardware and pad shims included
• Prepared for pad wear sensor use

Product Line Details

Centric Posi-Quiet brake pads are engineered with OE-style manufacturing methods, including positive molding that compresses the friction material under high pressure before bonding it to the backing plate. That process helps maintain even material density, which supports more uniform wear and braking characteristics over the life of the pad. The Posi-Quiet line also uses shims and backing plate finishing details to address common brake complaints such as noise and vibration.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify caliper type before ordering, since several BMW applications in this range use 4 piston or Blue caliper configurations. Inspect rotors, caliper slides, and pad contact surfaces during brake service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation. The prepared wear-sensor provision should be matched to the vehicle’s brake wear monitoring setup.

Quality Assurance

Centric manufactures the Posi-Quiet line using OE-style positive molding and adds scorching, shims, and backing plate finishing details to improve consistency and reduce noise concerns. The friction material is asbestos free and supplied with the hardware specified for this application.
