Posi Quiet® brake pads are manufactured using the same positive molding process utilized by Original Equipment 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.

Centric Parts® has recognized that the number one cause for customer returns are noise and vibrations. Centric Parts® is constantly improving its products to eliminate these issues. Posi Quiet® brake friction features either precision cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims - these small details ensure proper fitment in the caliper and virtually eliminate noise associated with pad vibration. In addition to these features Centric Parts® has added a scorching process to all of its Posi Quiet® brake pads. This additional process forces any impurities out of the friction material and pre-burnishes the pads to provide a greatly accelerated the break-in process.

By offering a variety of friction compounds, the Posi Quiet® Brake Pad program boasts the widest application coverage in the automotive aftermarket. The Centric® Posi Quiet® brake program has a brake pad for every vehicle and driving style.

All Posi Quiet® friction compounds have been specifically formulated to match original equipment. Centric® pays particular attention to matching the appropriate Posi Quiet® friction material to each application, based on exhaustive research of OEM samples, edge codes, materials and manufacturers. All Posi Quiet® brake pad friction formulations are asbestos free and are available in three application specific compounds.
