CENTRIC 10516090

Features & Benefits:

• Application specific formulations
• Precision cut or shaved backing plates and mechanically attached shims ensure proper fitment in the caliper and virtually eliminate noise associated with pad vibration
• Positive molding process uses extreme pressure to compress the friction material and bond it to the backing plate. This assures consistent friction material density throughout the pad; resulting in even wear and performance characteristics throughout the life of the brake pad
• Includes hardware (where required)

Organic vs. Ceramic vs. Semi-Metallic - What Is The Difference?

A common question many drivers have when shopping for brake pads is “What is the difference between the different brake pad materials?” While all brake pads will stop your vehicle, there are pros and cons of each pad material:

Brake Pad Material	Cost	Dust Level	Noise Level	Stopping Power	Pad Life
Organic	$
Semi-Metallic	$$
Ceramic	$$$

Installation Tips

• Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
• Apply Brake Lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
• Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
• Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
• After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
