Hardware replacement is often overlooked during routine brake system maintenance. Worn or missing hardware can lead to premature pad wear, excessive pad vibration and noise. Centric includes application specific hardware with all Posi Quiet and Fleet Performance brake pad sets* to ensure correct pad fitment, improved performance and extended service life of the pad.

Choosing the correct friction formula for your particular application is essential for optimizing brake system performance and reliability. Centric’s engineering team carefully selects and tests each friction compound to ensure proper stopping performance throughout the lifetime of the brake pad. With four in-house brake dynos, a brake friction materials lab and real-time vehicle testing Centric is the undisputed leader in aftermarket brake friction.

* Where applicable

Positive molding is a manufacturing process utilized by Original Equipment brake pad suppliers. Extreme pressure compresses the friction compound creating a more consistent material density throughout the brake pad.

All Centric Fleet Performance and Posi Quiet brake pads are scorched to accelerate the break-in process. This O.E.M 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 performed by installation technicians.

Precision cut or shaved backing plates reduce noise associated with vibration by ensuring proper pad fit in the caliper. Correct fitment promotes even pad wear, increased service life and consistent braking power throughout the life of the brake pad.

All Posi Quiet and Centric Fleet Performance brake pads feature mechanically attached O.E. style shims where applicable to eliminate noise associated with pad vibration. Mechanically attached shims provide superior noise abatement compared to lesser adhesive or drift-lock style shims.

Posi Quiet Extended Wear brake pads feature stable friction levels across a wide temperature range. Extended Wear brake pads are formulated for long pad life and reduced brake rotor wear and include all necessary hardware for complete installation.*

Centric Fleet Performance brake pads are specifically engineered to perform in repeat high-speed, high-heat, pursuit conditions. The Fleet Performance pad can safely stop vehicles from high speeds and will continue to work at very high temperatures. Centric Fleet Performance brake pads include all necessary hardware for complete installation.*

Centric Fleet Performance brake pads are specially formulated for use in high temperature and repeat stop situations.

Posi Quiet Extended Wear brake pads are specifically engineered to perform on vehicles that are driven under normal highway and city operating conditions.

Centric Heavy Duty Brake Shoes provide extended service life and include O.E. style pins and levers and are riveted to match O.E. specifications.

Each Centric Performance and Premium brake rotor casting is straddle cut to ensure parallelism. Straddle cutting is the most accurate machining process available for rotor manufacturing and eliminates many inconsistencies left behind by lesser cutting processes. All Centric Performance and Premium brake rotors feature a double disc ground finish which virtually eliminates run out and disc thickness variation issues. Double disc grinding also produces a non-directional finish for better pad and rotor break-in. In addition, Centric Performance and Premium brake rotors are mill balanced to a tolerance of less than 2oz-inch. This additional machining operation reduces feedback associated with rotor vibration and provides smooth, confident application of braking force.

During repeated stop situations brake component temperatures can exceed 600o F. These heat conditions can cause deterioration of normal ethylene propylene diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber dust boots and seals. Centric Fleet Performance calipers feature high temperature silicone dust boots and seals that are designed to withstand temperatures in excess of 600o F for extended periods of time without cracking. These high temperature silicone dust boots are the same material used in high-end racing applications and have been tested in the harshest environments to ensure proper operation and extended service life without failure.

Centric Parts is the industry leader in rebuilt caliper units. Our manufacturing facility utilizes the latest machinery, processes and custom built testing equipment to ensure that every rebuilt caliper will function under the most demanding conditions. Prior to being rebuilt, each caliper body is identified and inspected before being disassembled, thoroughly cleaned and refinished. Each caliper unit is then re-assembled with new pistons, seals, dust boots and hardware before being pressure tested and packaged.

EPDM rubber boots are not designed to withstand temperatures in excess of 300o F. Prolonged exposure to elevated heat ranges leads to cracking and seal failure.
