When performance and dependability are essential professional installers reach for Centric Parts 100 Series brake friction. Centric as engineering team carefully selects and tests each friction compound to ensure proper stopping performance throughout the lifetime of the brake pad. Our world-class R&D team as analysis of Original Equipment pads identified 20 O.E. friction material formulations utilized in our application-specific 100 Series line of pads. Each 100 Series brake pad is a true OE formulation manufactured using OE processes and OE materials by OE manufacturers. All Centric Parts friction is designed to meet or exceed our exacting standards for O.E. braking performance. Centric 100 Series brake pads feature fine blank or precision blank backing plates with machined abutments for proper caliper fitment. All 100 Series brake pads are manufactured using OE positive mold technology for consistent friction material density throughout the pad resulting in even wear and performance characteristics throughout the life of the product.Centric Parts 100 Series brake pads come with O.E. designed hardware included. Replacing caliper hardware is essential to restore proper brake system performance and noise free operation. Extreme pressure compresses the friction material creating a more consistent material density throughout the pad This process utilized by O.E. suppliers is the most advanced available today.Original Equipment design fine blank or precision blank backing plates with machined abutments ensure correct pad fitment in the caliper unit. Centric Parts 100 Series brake pads have O.E. style shims installed (when applicable) to eliminate noise associated with pad vibration.
