Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are original equipment (O.E.) replacement brake pads designed for consistent, quiet and clean braking. Our brake pads are engineered by manufacturers that meet IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry.

Most Liked Positive Review
good brake pads, very satisfied
good replacement pads for a good price, like the feel of the pads better than the stock ones. half the price of the oem pads from the dealer.
Most Liked Negative Review
I would not buy it again
The Pads do their job which is to stop the car.
Only issue I found was the squeal noise
The most annoying thing the stupid dust.
I like to keep my wheels clean and shiny.
With these pads seems kinda like imposible task.

Just general running around family use. They are noisy and dusty. My wife keeps thinking there is something wrong with the brakes. I've pulled wheels and checked numerous times and everything is fine except the wear, noise and dust.

These turned to dust within 8000 miles, kept thinking I had a fluid leak. No it was just the pads wearing down fast. Can hear them grinding away

Hi Bridgit, I'm glad to help you! This Carquest Premium Gold Ceramic Brake Pads (Part # GNAD1444) will only fit for the front brakes.
I installed these pads in 2018. They're at 2.5 now and need to be replaced. I bought them in FL but not live in TN. Can I use the limited lifetime replacement in the TN store?

Verified Reply - Solomon
Hi Clovis, good question! This part(Part #GNAD1444) comes with a limited lifetime replacement warranty. The limited lifetime warranty part can be refunded for cash/credit within the 90 days time frame. After that time expires, it can only be exchanged for a new item. So the warranty is valid for the life of the part as long as the customer owns the vehicle.
