Review on Wagner ThermoQuiet MX1405 Semi Metallic Front by Robert Dickinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Must be converted for use on Brembo calipers

My 2018 Durango came with Brembo brakes and the Brembo pads are very dusty so the wheels had to be cleaned after only 100 miles. I ordered these Wagner pads and when I removed the Brembo pads I noticed that EACH Brembo pad had a different part number but all the Wagner pads I had had the same part number for each mating pad on the same wheel. The The difference was that the Wagner pads had a metal wear indicator on BOTH pads, while the Brembos only had a wear indicator on ONE pad. I had to remove the wear indicator on one of the WAGNER pads in order to mount the Brembo caliper. It was a simple solution, but a solution nonetheless. Just remember. I haven't installed the pads and rotors yet, and if you've read Wagner's bedding recommendations for their TQ pads, good luck trying to figure out where to use the 0-30 guidelines and then go back to zero and wait 30 seconds to cool down and do it "20" yes TWENTY TIMES in a row. I have yet to find out the place and time to be able to do this so I can follow their recommendations. Then we'll see how well Thero Quiets will stop my 5500 lb Durango.

Pros
  • Asbestos-free friction material
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
