Cons

Fiction! for the brake system

Wow, great brake pads! Very smooth stopping and a lot quieter than my old cheap kit I had before and they stop better too. I will never buy cheap pads again. What a huge difference, not to mention they last longer! These are excellent quality brake pads. Thank you Revan

Pros
  • Including fastening material for pads
Cons
  • High price

Does the best job in the braking system

They fit my 2007 Malibu perfectly. Braking power seems good. The brake pedal is still a little soft, but that can't have anything to do with it. . . or normal. It's holding up well. I found the individual wear indicator clips a little odd, but so did the OEM parts.

Pros
  • FULL COATING -- Brake pads are available for most vehicles on the road
Cons
  • Long lead time

Pretty good value for money, good for the braking system

So far so good (1 month on Pontiac G6 so far). A few years ago I replaced the rear ones with a Wagner TQ and bought these for the front ones. Good specs so far and from what I see on the backs they should last a long time. Copes well with city driving without noise. This is the same price you can buy smaller brake pads at the parts store.

Pros
  • Wagner ThermoQuiet ensures quiet operation, superior braking performance and increased durability
Cons
  • Not sure

Installs as easily as any other disc brake

Everything OK; inexpensive ceramic brake pads. As easy to fit as all other disc brakes, they brake well and are as quiet as the name suggests. However, there's no metal tongue to scratch the rotor to alert you that the pad is low. Be sure to buy good rotors. Cheap discs with ceramic brakes warp in no time, unless you live in a traffic and red light-free apartment.

Pros
  • CeramicNXT Application Specific Compound
Cons
  • Update available

Too much dust! in spare parts

Well. Usually they stop the car. That's why they have as many stars as they do. But either Wagner changed their formula or they are fake because I've never had a pad that produces as much dust as these pads do. The previous pads were also ThermoQuiets and they didn't dust 20% compared to the previous ones. My bikes are a complete disaster in less than two weeks. The rear seats still have the "old" ThermoQuiets installed and are fine. Almost no dust.

Pros
  • COPPER FREE COMPOSITION -- Features Wagner OE25 Frictionless Copper Compound
Cons
  • Generally good, but...

Good fit, good packaging, ceramic :-), good price, reverse noise

I recently installed these on my Pontiac G6. They work fine. The brakes respond very well. I use the new Bosch rotors that were on sale. They are usually pretty calm. They squeak/creak really LOUD when reversing. I don't know if it's the pads, the rotors or a combination. Since it only happens in reverse, it's not that bad. Time will tell how long they last. I would give them 5 stars if it wasn't for the noise.

Pros
  • LONG LIFE -- Improved compound design dissipates heat for long lasting friction and reduced brake wear
Cons
  • Modern

Great quality for what you pay. Get it right the first time. Serious.

Do-it-yourselfer for many years. I gladly switched to Wagner because of the better quality. It comes with replaceable washers to keep going. Don't forget to attach snitches (one per wheel) so they squeak when they go out; they are not riveted as usual but I am not allowed to use them at all as I check my machines for such consumables several times a year. The sizes are perfect. Sometimes when you use "own brands" you have to grind them down to make them fit and then they rust and eat away…

Pros
  • Asbestos-free friction material
Cons
  • No
