    I had just installed a slightly less expensive brake pad. I was getting squeeking noises when I stopped. When i got these out of the box, you can immediately see that these are a premium pad compared to the average brake pad. They have performed very well. No noise. Braking is smooth and strong. I am very satisfied.

    ThermoQuiet? Not very quiet at all!

    If you own a Toyota Tundra with 4 piston calipers buy OEM brake pads.

              I am a registered member. So when I needed these items I went on line to locate and order a set. To my surprise there was an unannounced sale of 25% off on brakes and batteries. I really appreciated the bargain. The favorable price enabled me to buy the best brakes Advaned sells. The idea of being able to pick them up at the store is great. Especially since the store does not have the sale price available. Thanks

                Comments about Wagner ThermoQuiet® Brake Pads - Front:

                I use Wagner's ceramic pads on a work pickup, a 3/4 T work van and a full size auto. Very impressed with the stopping ability and no fading even when brakes are hot. These pads are a very good improvement over semi-metallic (I remember when they were the newest better product). Little to no brake dust on my alloy wheels! A product that fits out of the box. No little bit of filing the ears or anywhere else to allow the pads to install easily with no binding or hanging up. They slide as they should when operating.

                  First, the ordering process on line was pretty slick, the discount was appreciated, and picking up the parts was pretty efficient, too! Then I found that these pads were surprisingly easy to install... it took longer to jack up the front of the car and remove the wheels than it did to remove the retainer pins, remove the old pads and springs, install the new ones, replace the wheels, and do a quick test drive! It's nice not having to mess with that old pad silencing goo! Also, I did not need any brake cleaner. Overall, I saved a bundle!

                      Yet another quality product from Wagner. Caliper pins are a pain to work with on 2005 Toyota Tacoma, but these pads fit and perform great. Comes with anti rattle spring and cotter pins for caliper pin ends. Order online and used code for a pretty decent price.

                        Replacing what felt like a warped rotor ... vibration when applying brakes ... worse when warm or driving for a longer period.

                        The combination of the Wagner Brake Rotor and Pads returned the braking action to smooth and safe stopping.

                        Straight forward and easy to replace

                                The squeaking noise may come because of incorrect installation, brake dust, fail of universal joint and even a rotor. However, without the presence of your vehicle we would not be able to properly diagnose it nor provide you with a 100% answer. We would suggest that you take your vehicle to a certified mechanic for further diagnosis.
