Frequently Asked Questions
Will this pad set fit my vehicle?
It's a direct-fit front set for the 2011-2012 and 2016 Hyundai Elantra, 2013 Elantra Coupe, 2013-2016 Elantra GT, 2014-2016 Kia Forte and Forte Koup, and 2016 Kia Forte5. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm fitment.
Is this a front or rear brake pad set?
Yes, it's a front set. The catalog lists the ZD1543 in the front position, so it replaces the front brake pads on the listed applications.
What hardware comes with the set?
The set includes pad shims, abutment clips, and a mechanical wear sensor. Premium stainless-steel hardware and OE-style lubricant are included on most applications.
Are ceramic pads a good choice for daily driving?
They use Wagner's zero-copper OE25 ceramic formulation for whisper-quiet stops and ultra-low dust versus conventional semi-metallic pads during everyday street driving.
Should I replace both sides and check the rotors?
This set covers the front axle. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace both sides together and inspect the rotors, resurfacing or replacing them as needed.
