Centric Parts Has New Premium Performance Disc Brake Pad

The Centric Parts division of APC Automotive Technologies LLC has released Posi Quiet Pro, a new premium performance disc brake pad.

Centric Parts says the innovative and advanced friction line, known as PQ Pro for short, addresses key service issues such as brake fade, weak braking response, excessive noise and time consuming break-in procedures.

The new PQ Pro brake pad line offers application coverage for a wide range of passenger cars, light trucks, vans and SUVs. The PQ Pro line features over 903 SKUs, covering 74 vehicle makes and more than 1,500 models from 1961-2019.

According to Ken Selinger, vice president of Article management, Centric Parts has combined its Posi Quiet friction development capabilities with cutting edge technological enhancements to create a premium brake pad solution that delivers confidence and peace of mind to drivers while also providing comprehensive, value-driven solutions to technicians.

“Centric’s new PQ Pro brake pads feature our exclusive Mu500 friction coating technology which provides instant stopping power right out of the box, conditions the rotor swept area and eliminates the need for time-consuming break-in procedures. PQ Pro also quickly removes Geomet or thermal paint from the face of a fully coated rotor, which eliminates extra labor and frees up service bays for more customers.”

Selinger says the PQ Pro is the company’s “top-of-the-line offering and a game-changer given the surge of fully coated rotors in the market.”

Designed to Deliver 'Like New' Braking Performance

Centric Parts says PQ Pro pads feature application-specific friction compounds engineered to restore “like new” braking performance. They deliver exceptional NVH and low-dust performance and are fully compatible with both coated and uncoated rotors.

In addition to featuring Mu500 coating, PQ Pro pads are 100% positive-molded, 100% post-cured and 100% scorched for consistently superior long-term stopping power. Advanced multi-layer, mechanically-attached shims are incorporated to eliminate noise and shim migration, and precision-cut backing plates are used to ensure a perfect fit and smooth operation, according to the company.

The PQ Pro pads also have the Opti-Check Early Warning System embedded on the pads themselves, providing technicians with a clear visual indication of pad service life.

24/7 Assured Roadside Assistance

To increase technician and customer confidence, every set of PQ Pro brake pads is backed by a 1-year Centric-Assured Roadside Assistance Guarantee.

PQ Pro joins the Centric Parts brake pad Article lineup, which includes Posi Quiet, Centric Premium, Tactical, Fleet Performance and C-Tek.
