Detailed Product Features and Specifications
The Wagner Brake ThermoQuiet QC953 disc brake pads feature a ceramic friction material composition, which is known for providing stable friction and reduced brake dust compared to other materials. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.642 inches, ensuring adequate lifespan and consistent braking performance. The pads are slotted to help dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad life and reduce brake fade. Included pad shims help to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a quieter braking experience. Note that this set does not include pad wear sensors or abutment clips, and the edges are not chamfered. The FMSI number for this set is 7852-D953, which can assist in verifying fitment and compatibility.
