- Zero-copper ceramic friction: Features Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic formulation for a smooth, consistent pedal feel during everyday street driving.
- Quieter operation: The one-piece Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) design and laser-shaped friction help spread out heat, sound, and vibration to reduce noise.
- Cleaner wheels: The proprietary formulation is designed to be easy on rotors and helps cut down on brake dust.
- Ready to install: Slotted, chamfered-edge pads come with pad shims and abutment clips; a pad wear sensor is not included.
One set services the front axle; for even, balanced braking, replace both front wheels together and inspect the rotors while the pads are out. Country of origin: United States.
