Engineered for quiet, low-dust everyday braking, the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1160 Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set installs as a front-axle, direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2006-2010 Pontiac G6, 2007-2012 Chevrolet Malibu, 2007-2009 Saturn Aura, and 2008 Pontiac G5 (All engines).
- Zero-copper ceramic: Built on Wagner's OE25 copper-free friction formulation.
- Quieter operation: IMI (Integrally Molded Insulator) technology and a laser-shaped friction surface spread out heat, sound, and vibration to help reduce noise.
- Cleaner wheels: The ceramic formulation produces low, light-colored dust compared to conventional semi-metallic pads.
- Long life: The formulation is designed to dissipate heat for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade during everyday street driving.
- Ready to install: Includes pad shims and abutment clips, and the pads are slotted with chamfered edges; a pad wear sensor is not included.
This listing is one set for the front axle. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels together and inspect the rotors during service; if worn front pads are the cause of your brake noise or reduced braking, this set replaces them. IMI one-piece construction and premium stainless-steel hardware are provided on select applications. Country of origin: United States.
