Centric 105.1347 Posi-Quiet Ceramic Brake Pad with Shims

Quick Summary, for those who prefer not to read novellas:DO I RECOMMEND THEM? ABSOLUTELYPROS:1. These pads are QUIET, as advertised. No more horrendous low speed squealing.2. Came with new hardware (retention clip, retention pins, cotter pins).3. Easy to install, direct OE replacement (on my car, at least).4. Claim not to need a bed-in procedure to be performed (I did it anyway)CONS:1. The are a little pricey.2. Not as aggressive as the OE pads.THE REST OF THE STORY: I bought both the front and the rear pads for my 2014 Infiniti Q50S, so this review will be on both. My car was purchased used about 4 months ago and the brakes started squealing like banshees right after I bought it. It was the low speed squeal that occurs when you back out of the garage or come to a stop in a parking lot. The really embarrassing kind that shouldn't be coming from a luxury sport sedan. I complained to the dealer (an Infiniti dealer, btw) and they noted that the pads had been replaced before I bought it and were brand new. Ok, so you didn't bed them properly and now its up to me to fix the problem.Fast forward to now. I ordered these pads because they had good reviews (elsewhere, obviously), and they promised to be super quiet. They got here in the typical rapid Amazon fashion (props to Amazon shipping as always). There was nothing special about the boxes they came in. Everything was there that was supposed to be there, the pads were shrink-wrapped together, all hardware sealed in a baggy. Now the moment of truth. I started with the front pads because why not. The nice thing about the Sport model brakes (I don't know about the standard brakes) is that you don't have to remove or swing out the caliper to change the pads. Pluck out the cotter pins, pull out the retaining pins, remove the old pads, and you're good to go. Same with the rear, only the pads are a little smaller. I was very happy that these pads came with the hardware (retention clip, pins, cotter pins) as my OE pins were very gunky and corroded and hard to remove (yeah, the dealer didn't bother replacing those when they put in the new pads previously, thanks again). The procedure for both axles went perfectly and everything fit as expected.After putting everything back together I went out to do my own version of a bed-in procedure (there were no included instructions, but another selling point for these pads is that they are pre-scorched and supposedly don't require bedding). While they don't provide the same aggressive bite as the semi-metallic OE pads did, they are more than adequate for daily driver use, almost as important (to me, at least), they are blissfully quiet.

If you want good pads these are the ones and quite and less dust.

Not for the car listed, i had to return. Said it fit a 17 Infiniti q50 but it didn’t

Lot better than power stop and nissan pads, noise wise.I have a Q50 Sport Hybrid.

Brakes are nice for my 2012 G37 Sport. Quiet when stopping and have a grippy stop.
