Quieter, cleaner, low-dust braking — the Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet QC1522 is a front ceramic disc brake pad set that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2015 Chevrolet Cruze, 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited, and 2012-2017 Chevrolet Sonic (all engines).
Built around Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction formulation with IMI (Integrally Molded Insulator) technology on select applications, this set is designed to dampen sound, heat, and vibration for smoother, quieter stops in everyday street driving.
- Quieter operation: application-specific, laser-shaped friction and the integrally molded insulator help spread out heat, sound, and vibration to reduce noise.
- Cleaner wheels: the zero-copper ceramic formulation helps cut brake dust and reduce rotor wear for low-dust daily driving.
- Long-lasting friction: the formulation is designed to dissipate heat for durable friction performance and reduced brake fade.
- Ready to fit: includes a mechanical pad wear sensor and abutment clips; pad shims are not included. Pads are slotted with chamfered edges.
Made in the United States. This front-axle set covers the listed applications; thinning friction material, reduced braking, or noise from the wear indicator are signs the pads may need replacing. For even, balanced braking, replace both front pads together as a matched set. FMSI number: 8730-D1522 · lining 8730 · steel D1522. Manufacturer part number QC1522 · GTIN 00008536647607.

Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
It is a front disc brake pad set, cataloged for the front axle of the listed applications.
Are these ceramic pads?
Yes. They use Wagner's OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction formulation, which helps reduce brake dust and rotor wear for quieter, low-dust everyday driving.
Does the set include hardware or a wear sensor?
It includes a mechanical pad wear sensor and abutment clips. Pad shims are not included; consult the vehicle service information for any additional hardware needed.
Should I replace both sides at the same time?
For even, balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels together as a matched set, and inspect the rotors while the brakes are apart.
