- Zero-copper OE25 friction: Wagner TQ ceramic pads use the Wagner OE25 zero-copper friction formulation.
- Quieter operation: the unique Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) technology and laser-shaped friction help spread out heat, sound and vibration to reduce noise opportunities.
- Cleaner wheels: the ceramic formulation delivers ultra-low dust compared to conventional semi-metallic pads, helping cut down on brake dust.
- Ready to install: includes a mechanical pad wear sensor, pad shims, and abutment clips; slotted with chamfered edges.
The IMI one-piece design integrates friction material, backing plate and insulator for select applications, and is engineered for a smooth, consistent pedal feel and exceptional longevity during everyday street driving. For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels together as a matched set and inspect the rotors at the same time. Country of origin: United States.
