Wagner's ThermoQuiet friction material is engineered in-house to help provide quiet, controlled stops.
- Zero-copper friction: built on Wagner's OE25 zero-copper semi-metallic formulation.
- Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI): molds the friction material, backing plate and insulator into one piece for quieter operation on select applications.
- Heat management: the semi-metallic friction material is designed to dissipate heat for strong braking performance.
- Included hardware: pad shims are included; a pad wear sensor and abutment clips are not included.
Cataloged for both front and rear positions. Made in the United States. Sold as a set; per-application quantity is 1 set. For balanced, even braking, replace the pads on both sides of an axle together as a matched set.
