Review on πŸ”˜ Wagner Brake OEX1212 Brake Disc Pad: Optimal Performance and Durability for Superior Braking by Jeffrey Johnston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brake pad Rav 4 Great

In contrast to expensive pads, there is no real interruption in their function. They're better made than the PSU, have more air cooling slots, more rotor contact points, and great stuff for a lot less money. These brakes are great too but after doing some research they are for me and I'm glad I bought them. So you have to put the brakes on, but there is no detailed process for that, just study it. This was recommended to me by a friend who hauls heavy loads up some of America's steepest slopes. His brakes at this load are still at 75% after 20,000 miles and are literally dust free from what he replaced. I had a squeak, only went away by replacing the pads. These pads last twice as long as other Wagner pads. Perfect for Rav 4 and depending on if you have third row seating you will need an OEX1211 or OEX1212. I do NOT have third row seats so my part number was OEX1212, if you have third row seats your rear brake has a different part number ending in 11. The rear brakes are much smaller, they need to be replaced at the same time as the front ones because of that. They come with all clips. My friend suggests you buy E-coated rotors to match these pads, but I've only used factory rotors to replace this pad. Next time I will get E-coated flat rotors. He really appreciates the quality of these brakes and I am happy about his recommendation. These pads are made for a car that will or could drive much more often than pads that have no or only a line across them. When the brakes get hot they wear out much more easily, these brakes run colder than others, especially those that don't have lines. If you commute a lot, consider the drilled and slotted rotors and those great OEX pads, premium Wagner pads and the only Wagner pads I would buy.

Pros
  • PU: 1
Cons
  • Slightly torn
