Quiet your rear brakes and keep your wheels cleaner with the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1281 Rear Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2013 Acura MDX [All], 2009-2011 Honda Pilot [All], 2010-2013 Acura ZDX [All], and 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey [All].
- Zero-copper ceramic friction: built around Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction formulation.
- IMI one-piece design: Integrally Molded Insulator technology combines the friction material, backing plate, and insulator into a single pad for quieter operation on select applications.
- Lower dust, quieter stops: the ceramic friction produces lighter, less-visible brake dust and dampens noise compared with conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
- Included hardware: comes with pad shims and abutment clips; premium stainless-steel hardware is included on select applications. No pad wear sensor is included.
As a rear disc brake pad set, these pads clamp the rear rotors to slow the vehicle. Signs the rear pads may need replacing include squealing, reduced braking, or friction material worn near its limit — diagnose the cause before replacing. This set covers the rear axle; replace both sides together as a matched set for even, balanced braking, and inspect the rotors and hardware while the brakes are apart. The manufacturer's application-specific, laser-shaped friction is designed to spread out heat, sound, and vibration to help reduce noise.
