Centric is actually the parent company to StopTech and is one of the biggest brake parts manufactures in the world. All Centric 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.
Centric Posi Quiet pads are the only full line of aftermarket pads that are scorched. This OEM process enhances key friction performance levels. Scorching raises initial cold effectiveness, stabilizes friction levels right out of the box, and provides consistent performance across the entire operating range. I'll shoot you over a PM with more info! - Alan |

Cool Carbon uses ("True") positive molding which is manufactured one part at a time and based on identical molding pressure to maintain identical density and material performance for every part manufactured. All Cool Carbon product is 100% scorched at over 1000F in specialized scorching presses. Cool Carbon specializes in only brake pad applications for BMW and Porsche and was among the first to introduce ("True")Positive molding to the North American market.
Final development and testing was done using E9x 335i and E46 M3 test vehicles in North America and only BMW and Porsche test cars on the Autobahn and @ the Nurburgring. Now is a great time to purchase as we are having a 15% off sale through the end of August. Use the code ccaugust15 for your purchase to receive the discount ![]() |

I used Hawk street and racing pads on an e36 m3 and they are excellent pads. I'm sure their performance on a 335i would be the same. Ordered from turner motorsport.
