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 cause 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 break-in process. All Posi Quiet brake pad friction formulations are asbestos free and are available in three application specific compounds complete with all necessary hardware for installation where applicable.

About this Brake Caliper

The STOPTECH STO104.15470 brake caliper squeezes the brake pads against the rotor when you press the pedal. Sticking pistons or seized slide pins make the brakes drag or pull and wear pads unevenly.

Frequently asked questions

What does a brake caliper do?

Hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal pushes the caliper's pistons outward, pressing the pads against the rotor to slow the wheel.

What are the signs of a failing caliper?

The car pulling to one side when braking, a hot wheel or burning smell after driving, uneven pad wear, a fluid leak at the caliper, or a spongy pedal.

Should calipers be replaced in pairs?

Replacing both calipers on the same axle keeps braking even and is recommended, especially when one has seized. Replace the pads, and the rotors if needed, at the same time.

What needs to be done after installing a caliper?

Bleed the brake system to remove air, using the brake fluid type your car specifies, and check for leaks. If you are not experienced with brake work, have a professional do it, as brakes are safety-critical.

How do I make sure this brake caliper fits my car?
