ThermoQuiet Product Line Features

The ThermoQuiet line by Wagner Brake focuses on delivering quiet, smooth braking with enhanced thermal management. This product line incorporates slotted ceramic pads with chamfered edges and includes necessary hardware such as shims and clips to ensure proper fitment and reduced noise. The QC1188 part number is part of this line, designed specifically to meet the braking demands of Suzuki Grand Vitara vehicles.

Detailed Product Description

The QC1188 disc brake pad set features a ceramic friction material composition that offers consistent braking performance while generating less brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. The slotted design helps channel heat away from the pad surface, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges further reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter driving experience. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.647 inches, ensuring even wear and long service life. Included pad shims and abutment clips facilitate proper installation and help maintain pad alignment within the caliper.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Suzuki Grand Vitara models requiring FMSI number 8307-d1188
• Designed for disc brake systems needing ceramic pads with slotted features
• Suitable for drivers seeking replacement brake pads with noise reduction and heat management
• Ideal for addressing issues such as brake noise, uneven pad wear, and brake fade

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet QC1188 pads, ensure the caliper and rotor surfaces are clean and free of debris. Use the included pad shims and abutment clips to secure the pads properly and reduce noise. It is recommended to inspect the brake rotors for wear or damage and replace or resurface if necessary to maintain optimal braking performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for caliper bolts and perform a brake system test after installation.
