Carquest Standard brake pads are designed for original equipment (O.E.) fit, form and function for dependable stopping while providing great value. Our brake pads use quality friction formulas for reliable stopping power. Carquest Standard brake pads feature a single-layer shim that absorbs noise and vibration to provide quiet braking. These brake pads also utilize slots and chamfers based on the OE design. Carquest Standard brake pads are the right choice when looking for good performance at a great price.

Product Features:

• Dependable stopping power
• Single layer shim for quiet braking
• OE-designed slots and chamfers to reduce noise and vibration
• Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

For replacement brake pads that are designed for your vehicle, trust the name that manufacturers trust Akebono Pro-ACT® Ultra-Premium brake pads. Manufactured from carefully selected materials designed to help minimize and/or virtually eliminate unwanted brake dust, Pro-ACT Ultra-Premium brake pads provide consistent, smooth stopping power across a wide range of driving conditions, including panic stops. Replacement Brake Pads from the Creators of Akebono Ceramic Technology® Engineered to eliminate noise, vibration, and harshness, Pro-ACT Ceramic Disc Brake Pads provide the ultimate braking experience. The best replacement for restoring OE ceramic pad performance, Pro-ACT Ceramic Disc Pads are also ideal for upgrading from conventional pads. In addition to dramatically quieter braking, Pro-ACT Ceramic Pads provide best-in-class braking performance, including enhanced initial effectiveness (no break-in required), high resistance to fade, consistent brake pedal feel, and ultra-low dusting for cleaner wheels and tires. Akebono’s ceramic technology also causes minimal wear on brake rotors.

Product Features:

• Virtually eliminates noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH)
• Vehicle-optimized ceramic formulas for superior performance
• Unrivaled stopping power
• Clean wheels
• No break-in required
• Rotor-friendly with proven longer rotor life
• Perfect upgrade for all braking systems
• Made in the USA

This part matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications which means that it is at least as good if not better than the original part the manufacturer supplied the car with. Sangsin manufactures and designs it’s brake pads to original equipment specifications for quality long lasting performance and is the OE supplier for major Korea automakers including Hyundai and Kia Motors. Sangsin is the largest friction manufacturer in Korea and has been devoted to manufacturing, researching and developing brake pads, linings and other vehicle friction material for over 40 years. Sangsin has eliminated friction materials that create black dust and noise and ensures quiet braking and clean wheels.

Product Features:

• OE Ceramic formulation: Excellent fade resistance, Extremely low dust characteristics
• Incorporates precision fit shims, OE positive mold design technology
• OEM technology: Chamfered and Slotted to reduce noise when braking
• Scorched as same as OE process in order to minimize the need for initial break-in and increase initial stopping power
• 2-stage press process Fine blanked backing plate: insure precise fit and function
• Underlayer between friction and backing plate to promote better friction to plate adhesion an minimize noise
• OE level shim with premium Rubber-Steel-Rubber shim

ACDelco Professional DuraStop Ceramic Brake Pads offer outstanding performance and are generally quieter and more durable than competitive semi-metallic pads. ACDelco Professional DuraStop Ceramic Brake Pads are designed to meet OE standards for fit, form and function, and they are engineered to help resist corrosion and premature wear. Independently tested using D3EA and SAE J2784 standards, ACDelco Professional DuraStop Ceramic Brake Pads offer exceptional performance and include noise-dampening shims, where applicable.

Product Features:

• Produce less dust than semi-metallic brake pads for quiet operation
• Manufactured using ceramic and nonferrous materials for durability
• Chamfered, slotted and shimmed to provide similar fit, form and function of the OE service part
• Hardware clip kits included (where applicable)
• Tested to D3EA and SAE J2784 for braking effectiveness
• Noise/Vibration/Harshness (NVH) and durability/wear testing for assurance of quality.

THE “ONE-PIECE” BRAKE PAD THAT PROVIDES QUIETER BRAKING. Wagner® ThermoQuiet® brake pads are the quieter, “one-piece” brake pads. They feature Integrally Molded Sound Insulator (IMI) that integrates the friction material, backing plate and insulator into a single high strength component. The application-specific design spreads out heat, sound and vibration over a much larger surface area for quieter operation. A unique application-specific laser-shaped friction optimizes pad-to-rotor interface for better braking performance. The proprietary Wagner® OE21 formulations feature a complex matrix of materials that replicate the functions of copper while setting new benchmarks and providing across-the-board improvements in NVH control, stopping power, durability and dusting characteristics.

Product Features:

• 35% Quieter
• 15% More stopping power
• Longer lasting
• Cleaner wheels
