- Quieter operation: Wagner OE25 zero-copper ceramic friction with a unique Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) technology for quieter operation; application-specific, laser-shaped friction spreads heat, sound and vibration to help cut noise.
- Cleaner wheels: the proprietary ceramic formulation helps reduce brake dust and rotor wear for cleaner wheels during everyday street driving.
- Long-life friction: the formulation dissipates heat to support long-lasting friction performance and help reduce brake fade.
- Ready to install: includes pad shims, abutment clips, chamfered and slotted pads, and a mechanical pad wear sensor.
These ceramic pads are engineered for a smooth, consistent pedal feel with ultra-low dust and quiet stops compared with conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving. Signs your rear pads may need attention include squealing, grinding or reduced braking response — diagnose the cause before replacing. Each listing is one set that services the rear axle; for balanced braking, inspect the rear rotors and service as your maintenance schedule directs.
