Part No. GNAD981
Warranty Details (LIMITED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT)
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. Carquest Premium Gold brake pads utilize application-specific friction formulations that provide extended pad life and cleaner wheels. These brake pads also feature OE-designed slots and chamfers for consistent performance. To prevent noise, our Carquest Premium Gold brake pads also utilize a multi-layer shim and are supplied with new brake hardware (most applications-see fitment notes). Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are the best choice when looking for brake pads that meet or exceed the OE stopping performance.

Product Features:
  • Application-specific friction formulations provide shorter stopping distances and extended pad life
  • Hardware included for most applications
  • OE-designed slots and chamfers to reduce noise and vibration
  • Multi-layer shim provides near silent braking
  • Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

Great brake pads
These Carquest Wearever Gold ceramic brake pads are excellent. The install was faster than the front brakes and these pads fit very nicely. The pedal pressure after the install feels just right and stopping distance in my opinion is better than the original equipment. No grease was provided in the box, which was disappointing because I had to buy some, but new shims are provided in the box. These pads went on much faster than the front pads which were the same model, the ceramic gold made for the front. The front pads I had to file the paint and some of the steel off. It's too soon to comment on brake dust and how they wear, but I believe they will be excellent.
Most Liked Negative Review
Too early to tell
Easy to install but I need to put some mileage on the pads before I give my opinion of them.

Any brake dust?
Verified Reply - Steve
Hi AndyTaker, glad to assist you! Ceramic pads are created from a blend of super-strong ceramic and copper fiber imbedded into the pad compound. They create less dust, keeping your wheels cleaner and quieter than semi-metallic pads. Also, they last longer than semi-metallic brake pads.
on the outer pad there are spring clips which way do they face when installed toward front or rear
Verified Reply - Vincent
Hi Art, glad to assist you! The outer pads use these spring clips to mount to the caliper. To remove this type of pad, press the pad towards the center of the caliper and slide it off. It may be helpful to use a small prybar.
Can I use Semi-metallic pads in front and ceramic pads in rear?
