WagnerBrake ThermoQuiet QC1194 Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set

I have been running the ThermoQuiet pads on both of my vehicles and now my sister's two SUV's as well. From a small Honda Civic to a large Cadillac Escalade, these pads are fantastic. There is no difference in feel compared to the expensive factory pads. Stopping distance is reliable and with eight sets installed to date, zero noise. I was skeptical of the design where the noise insulators were integral to the pad. Well, whatever Wagner does, it works. Every set I've purchased so far has come with new pad guides for the caliper brackets. The old ones pop right off and the new ones clip on in seconds. This was nice to see as my old guides had gotten pretty rough after 200,000 miles in salty northeast winters.Pad life has been average to better than average. Even if you beat the crap out of these, the price on Amazon can't be beat for what you get. One could replace the pads almost three times for the price of one set at the dealer. If you aren't looking for ultra high performance but want a pad that is better than a questionable $15 set, these are the way to go.

Let me start by saying that for years I have used Wagner brakes on my personal vehicles and the vehicles that come thru my shop. They fit the best and last the longest with no issues until recently. I think they changed the formula to meet some new regulation, it had something about meeting a 2021 standard on the box. This is the 3rd set of Wagner ZD1194' I put on my 2010 Suburban. I actually removed the factory pads when it was close to new for them. I put on my latest set in February 2019 and noticed a squeak on a regular basis. I figured it was a hard spot in the pad so I rode them a while. 6000 miles later they still squeak. I returned them to amazon and bought the exact ones at my parts supplier. They squeaked the same way for 300 miles. I warrantied out the rotors because there is absolutely nothing wrong with anything else. The squeak lives on! Frustrated with the entire situation I bought a set of the lesser brand NewTek and have not had a squeak ever since. What did you change Wagner? Change it back!!

I’ve been using Wagner for years. But this set was a dud. First off they didn’t fit because it had way to much coating on one of the pads. Had to file the coating down on that one to get it to fit. Used to be made in the USA, but not anymore.

I have had an affinity for ceramic pads since I have had very good luck with no brake noise with using them.However on the fronts only after replacing I am getting a little brake squeal on the front driver side.These are installed on my 2007 Chevy Avalanche.So far these are the only ceramic pads I have had brake squeal out of.Stopping and performance is as expected out of ceramic being aggressive (good stopping) whether dry or wet.The fitting of the pads were perfect. However given the noise I wouldn't buy again but try a different brand.

I have a 2007 Tahoe with 165K Miles, it was time to do the brakes at all 4 wheels, I also noticed the hubs didn't feel smooth so with all the brakes off, this was a no brainier! Ordered AC Delco Professional Rotors, Wagner TQ brake pads and Timken Hub assemblies all from Amazon. Saved about $250 over the best price I could find locally. All went on with no issue and everything arrived in excellent shape.

Very close to what the factory pad package looked like. I was impressed that the pads were shrink wrapped together. Also, the replacement clips were also bagged separately. Finally, the entire box was shrink wrapped. Packaging was great. Brakes were very easy to replace. In fact, I spent more time jacking up the vehicle that installing the pads and servicing the brakes. These install as easy as OEM for a fraction of the price. Performance of the pads so far have been as expected.

They did not fit the truck I ordered for. I run the part number through google and they are for a Silverado but the pads were half the size of the ones i was replacing. Just looking at them they were to small

Better than stock, run them on my tahoe and a lifted suburban on 33s they do great and leave little to know dust and no noise.
