Centric Original Equipment Formula brake pads are designed for performance and dependability by engineers that select and test each friction compound to ensure proper stopping performance throughout the lifetime of the brake pad. Centric has a world-class R&D team that has analyzed and identified 20 O.E. friction material formulations used in their application-specific 100 Series line of pads. Each 100 Series brake pad is a true OE formulation; manufactured using OE processes, materials, and manufacturers. All Centric friction pads are designed to meet or exceed O.E. standards for braking performance. Centric 100 Series brake pads feature fine blank or precision blank backing plates with machined abutments that offer a proper caliper fitment. All 100 Series brake pads are manufactured using positive mold technology for consistent friction material density throughout the pad, resulting in even wear and better performance.
