Wagner Brakes - Brake System

The listing said they would fit my truck, they weren't even close, now that I'm paying for return postage they cost me significantly more than the local auto parts store. I am not happy.

Pros
  • Brake Pads
Cons
  • Fits

Lower quality for a higher price.

Nothing against the seller but I had to sharpen all the mounting holes, it wasn't worth it. Also, the quality (obviously) doesn't look as good as a $20 set of cheap O Reilly shoes. I was hoping they would be of a higher quality but NO.

Pros
  • Drum brake
Cons
  • New competition appeared

Good brake pads for the price

Good brake pads for the price! (I got them from Warehouse Deals) but they fit my truck perfectly and work great. Made my truck stop better than ever. You may need to use a file to clean out the holes where they attach to the brake hardware, they are covered in a thick layer of paint.

Pros
  • Brake system
Cons
  • Something else

Warning: Will not fit Revain made an error after confirming installation

I made sure I parked my car in Revain's garage and Revain has confirmed that this part will fit my car. It is not. My truck uses 2" wide shoes, and they are 2 1/2" wide. They are for a bigger truck and it's too late to return them. Shame on me for buying parts ahead of time and relying on Revain.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Long delivery time
