This front-axle set installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 2015-2020 Audi A3, 2016-2021 Audi TT Quattro, 2015-2021 Volkswagen Golf, 2015-2018 GTI, 2019-2021 and 2023-2025 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2022-2024 Volkswagen Taos (all engines) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of Audi and Volkswagen fitments.
- Quieter operation: IMI™ Integrally Molded Insulator technology and an application-specific, laser-shaped friction surface spread out heat, sound, and vibration to reduce noise.
- Zero-copper ceramic: the Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation delivers whisper-quiet stops and low dust compared to conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
- Long life & cleaner wheels: the superior formulation dissipates heat for long-lasting friction performance and reduced brake fade, while helping cut rotor wear and brake dust.
- Ready to install: includes an electronic pad wear sensor, pad shims, and abutment clips, with chamfered edges for a quiet, controlled fit.
The one-piece IMI™ design integrates the friction material, backing plate, and insulator on select applications; this is a non-slotted set. Brakes perform best as a matched set, so this kit supplies the pads for the front axle. Country of origin: United States.
