Quiet your rear brakes with the Wagner ThermoQuiet QC1445 Rear Disc Brake Pad Set. This zero-copper ceramic set drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2010 Kia Soul, 2011-2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2015 Kia Optima, 2012-2017 Hyundai Azera and 2012-2013 Kia Soul [All]. It supplies the rear-axle friction material the caliper clamps against the rotor to slow the wheels.
- Quieter operation: IMI (Integrally Molded Insulator) technology plus an application-specific, laser-shaped friction surface spread out heat, sound and vibration to cut down noise opportunities.
- Zero-copper ceramic: built on Wagner's OE25 copper-free ceramic friction formulation.
- Cleaner wheels: the proprietary formulation helps reduce rotor wear and brake dust, and its ceramic dust is lighter and less visible than the darker dust from semi-metallic pads.
- Ready to fit: includes pad shims, abutment clips and a mechanical wear sensor; premium stainless-steel hardware is included for select applications.
The ceramic friction is designed for smooth, consistent pedal feel and quiet stops during everyday street driving. If worn rear pads are the cause of squealing, reduced braking, or a lit wear indicator, this set replaces them. Replacing pads as a complete axle set is recommended for even, balanced braking; inspect the rotors and hardware during service. Manufacturer part number QC1445 · FMSI 8428A-D1445. Country of origin: United States.
