- 1993-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII (All engines)
- 1995-1999 Ford Taurus (All engines)
- 1995-2002 Lincoln Continental (All engines)
- 1996-1997 Ford Thunderbird (All engines)
- 1996-1997 Mercury Cougar (All engines)
- 2001-2005 Mercury Sable (All engines)
- 2001-2007 Ford Taurus (All engines)
Quieter operation: IMI™ (Integrally Molded Insulator) one-piece design integrates the friction material, backing plate, and insulator, while a laser-shaped friction surface spreads out heat, sound, and vibration to reduce noise. Slotted with chamfered edges.
Zero-copper ceramic formulation: built on Wagner's OE25™ copper-free ceramic friction material.
Long life & cleaner wheels: the formulation is designed to dissipate heat for durable friction performance with reduced brake fade, and helps reduce rotor wear and brake dust during everyday street driving — its dust is lighter and less visible than that of conventional semi-metallic pads.
Ready to install: includes pad shims and abutment clips. A pad wear sensor is not included. For balanced braking, replace the pads on both front wheels together and inspect the rotors while the brakes are apart. Made in the United States.

Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
It's a front disc brake pad set, as listed in the catalog for the covered applications.
What friction material are these pads?
They use Wagner's OE25™ zero-copper ceramic friction formulation, designed for quieter operation and reduced brake dust on everyday street driving.
Does the set include hardware?
Yes — it includes pad shims and abutment clips. A pad wear sensor is not included with this set.
Should I replace both sides and check the rotors?
Best practice is to replace the pads on both front wheels together as a matched set for even braking, and to inspect the rotors while the brakes are disassembled.
