BRAKES ARE A SAFETY CRITICAL PART OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.
Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.
Utilizing the same split core symmetric molding process used by Original Equipment manufacturers, Centric’s High Carbon Plain 125 Series Rotors dissipate heat efficiently and provide better stopping power especially in repeat stopping situations. Containing an advanced metallurgy containing proprietary Molybdenum and Chromium alloys, the rotors resist cracking during high performance use or repeat stop situations. The alloys also greatly reduce the pad squeal associated with higher friction, European-style brake pad compounds and increases the friction couple to improve brake performance and stopping power.
The Centric High Carbon Plain 125 Series Rotor features a double disc ground finish that virtually eliminates run out and any disc thickness variation (DTV) issues. The non-directional, double disc ground finish also provides improved rotor and pad break-in while a directional vane design improves airflow and cooling. Rotors are mill-balanced, as well, to ensure smooth operation regardless of speed.
Centric High Carbon Plain 125 Series Rotor Features:
- Premium black E-coating finish to combat corrosion on the rotor hat and between the cooling vanes
- Center split castings for increased strength and stability
- Superior cooling fin designs
- Double disc ground finish
- 100% fully machined finish including rotor hats
- 100% inspected and mill-balanced for smooth operation regardless of speed
- Lateral run out held to 0.002” or less
- Meet or exceed rigidity quality specifications, including cooling vane designs
A center split casting increases strength and stability, but to further promote longevity, the rotors feature Centric’s exclusive black E-coating finish. Engineered to withstand 400 hours of salt spray testing without corroding, it is applied on all non-friction surfaces to prevent premature rusting.
E-Coating Advantages:
- Uniform coating thickness over all areas including sharp corners, recesses and areas that are hard to reach with spray painting
- Nontoxic and water-based paint material
- Approximately 95% utilization of paint with no overspray, drip or drain losses
- Complete paint coverage — no touchup of paint ever required
Los discos de frenos de la serie High Carbon Plain 125 fabricados por Centric, utilizan el mismo proceso de corte simétrico del centro, utilizado por los fabricantes de discos de frenos originales (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés). Esto es importante, ya que, disipan el calor eficientemente y proporcionan mayor poder de frenado, especialmente cuando hay que frenar repetitivamente. Estos discos de frenos resisten las rajaduras causadas por uso arduo y situaciones de frenado repetitivo, gracias a la mezcla avanzada de metales, la cual incluye aleaciones de “Molybdenum” y “Chromium”. Esta aleación también reduce el chillido asociado con alta fricción del compuesto tipo europeo de las pastillas de frenos, además mejora el rendimiento y poder de frenado.
Los discos de frenos Centric High Carbon Plain 125 poseen un esmerilado doble que elimina virtualmente cualquier variación del diámetro o su grosor (DTV, por sus siglas en inglés). El esmerilado doble no direccional, también mejora el tiempo de acoplamiento/ajuste (break-in); mientras el diseño direccional de aletas mejora el fluido de aire y enfriamiento. Estos discos de frenos son balanceados para asegurar una operación pareja, independientemente de la velocidad a la cual se conduce.
Características:
- Acabado negro E-Coating para combatir corrosión en el sombrero del disco y entre las paletas de enfriamientos.
- Centro dividido para aumentar la fortaleza y estabilidad.
- Diseño de aletas para mayor enfriamiento.
- Acabado de esmerilado doble.
- Los discos poseen un acabado 100% a máquina, incluyendo los sombreros.
- 100% inspeccionados y balanceados para una operación pareja, independientemente de la velocidad de conducción.
- La redondez lateral es mantenida a 0.002” o menos.
- Cumple o excede las rígidas especificaciones de calidad, incluyendo el diseño de enfriamiento de las aletas.
El centro de moldes dividido aumenta la fortaleza y estabilidad, además de aumentar su longevidad, Los discos de frenos Centric posee el acabado exclusivo E-coating, este, ha sido fabricado para soportar una prueba de rocío de agua salada durante 400 horas sin que se corroa. El E-coating es colocado en todas las superficies donde no hay fricción, para prevenir el óxido prematuro.
Ventajas del acabado E-Coating:
- Grosor uniforme del acabado en todas las áreas incluyendo: esquinas agudas, hendiduras y áreas difíciles de alcanzar con pinturas en aerosol.
- Materiales de pintura con base de agua y no son tóxicos.
- Uso de aproximadamente 95% de la pintura, sin pintar de más, gotear o drenar.
- Cobertura completa de pintura, no se necesita retocar.

I put these pads on an 02 Audi S4 and I am very happy with them. The only problem I ve encountered is that they squeal loudly when I m backing out of my drive-way in the morning, and that does bother me a bit, and they make a little sound even when going forward sometimes also.
They have produced little to no dust on my rims. The rims still get dirty from road grime and I guess a small amount could be due to dust from these, but my rims don t turn black after a few days like with composite pads.
I drive very spirited sometimes and these don t seem to fade nearly as much as the composite pads that were on my car did. The stopping power is overall very good and I am happy with these and my Centric High Carbon disks. The wear rate on the disks seems to be very uniform also and I have not see the ridges that I have seen on just about every car I ve ever owned with composite pads.
I would recommend these and I will probably buy them again when I need new pads but I may look around and see if there are some ceramics that don t squeal in the morning. That seems to be a common problem with cold ceramic pads and going in reverse so I ll probably just end up with these again.
If brake squeal drives you completely crazy, like some people I know, these are not the pads for you. If you re looking for good performance and want to keep you rims cleaner then these will do the job nicely.
