Wagner Brake EC1544 Disc Brake Pad Set - Rear

Overview

The Wagner Brake Essentials EC1544 disc brake pad set is built for everyday driving with OE-style fit and a ceramic friction formulation. It is engineered for consistent braking performance and low noise in commuter and light-duty use.

Compatible with rear brake applications on select Kia and Hyundai models, this pad set is a practical replacement choice for drivers looking for predictable pedal feel and straightforward service fitment. The EC1544 part number is also referenced in cross-application listings for the same fitment family.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material for stable braking characteristics.
• OE-style fit and formulation for straightforward replacement.
• Chamfered edges and slotted design for quieter operation.
• Mechanical pad wear sensor included.
• Abutment clips included for service-ready installation.
• Wagner Brake Essentials EC1544 for rear disc brake applications.

Detailed Description

The Wagner Brake Essentials line focuses on dependable replacement parts for routine driving, and the EC1544 follows that approach with a ceramic compound, OE-style geometry, and noise-reducing design features. The pad thickness is listed at 0.584 on both the inner and outer pads, and the set includes a mechanical wear sensor plus abutment clips. This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., BC1544, BE1544) for the same application.

For Kia Rio, Kia Forte5, Kia Forte, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai Elantra, Hyundai Elantra Coupe, and Kia Optima rear brake service, the EC1544 provides a direct-fit replacement option that matches the listed rear position applications. The Wagner Brake EC1544 is suited to drivers who want a service part built around everyday braking needs rather than specialized performance use.

What It Helps Address

• Brake pad wear that requires rear pad replacement.
• Noise from worn or uneven brake pads.
• Reduced braking consistency in daily commuting.
• Service needs where a mechanical wear sensor is required.
• Replacement jobs that call for OE-style rear pad fitment.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, and model before installation. Inspect the rotor surface, caliper condition, and pad contact points during service. Because mounting hardware is not listed as included, confirm whether additional service parts are needed for your application. The EC1544 includes abutment clips and a mechanical wear sensor, and the slotted, chamfered design should be installed with proper brake cleaning and lubrication practices.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake Essentials is positioned as a cost-effective line backed by Wagner engineering expertise. The EC1544 is built to OE-style standards for fit and formulation, with a focus on consistent braking and low noise for everyday use.
