We carry quality Centric brake parts because all brake parts are not created equal.

Posi Quiet Brake Pads

Centric Parts is constantly striving to set the standard in the automotive aftermarket.  In addition to their extensive application research and friction component development, Centric is committed to revolutionizing the automotive brake market through cutting edge technology and O.E. level manufacturing processes not used by other aftermarket brake component suppliers.

All 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.

The number one causes for customer returns are noise and vibration.  Centric Parts has recognized these issues and 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 greatly accelerate the brake-in process.

Posi Quiet pads are the only full-line of aftermarket pads that are scorched.  This OEM process enhances key friction performance levels.  Scorching raises initial cold effectiveness, stabilizes friction levels right out of the box, 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.  This additional step removes any uncured bonding agents eliminating the need for initial break-in and reducing noise caused by pad glazing.  Scorching thermally conditions the pad material which yields a more consistent and higher friction level fight out of the box.

Scorching benefits the vehicle owner by promoting a more complete bed-in of new pads, increasing the effective stopping power from the first stop.

Brake Rotors

Centric Parts is the industry leader in aftermarket replacement brake parts.  Centric brake rotors are sourced from worldwide manufacturing facilities that are QS and ISO quality system standards certified.  Centric's global suppliers have already passed these stringent quality assurance standards since many of them already supply the Original Equipment Manufacturers.

All Centric Parts brake rotors are engineered and manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of Original Equipment rotors.  Centric's industry in-house engineering department analyzes each component to ensure proper fin design and fitment for every application import and domestic.  This attention to detail guarantees that our rotors will perform as good or better than the factory part.

While some rotor manufacturers cut corners with inferior side cast molds for their rotors; Centric utilizes the same split cast molding process used by O.E. manufacturers.  Split cast rotors dissipate heat more efficiently and provide better stopping power, especially in repeated stop situations.

Centric Premium rotors feature their exclusive black E-coating on all non-friction surfaces.  E-coating is an advanced electro-statically applied finish that has been tested to withstand 400 hours of salt water testing without rusting.  This black finish provides years of protection from the elements but looks good doing it.

Each Centric brake rotor casting is straddle cut to exact O.E. specifications.  Straddle cutting is the most accurate machining process available for rotor manufacturing and eliminates many inconsistencies left behind by lesser cutting processes.

All Centric brake rotors feature a double disc ground finish which virtually eliminates run out and any disc thickness variation issues.  Double disc grinding also produces a non-directional finish for better pad and rotor brake-in.

In addition, Centric brake rotors are mill balanced to a tolerance of less than 2oz. per inch.  This additional machining operation reduces feedback associated with rotor vibration and provides a smooth confident application of braking force.
