ThermoQuiet Product Line Features

The ThermoQuiet line by Wagner Brake focuses on delivering quiet braking performance without compromising safety. This product line incorporates ceramic friction materials and design elements such as slots and chamfered edges to reduce noise and vibration. The QC975 brake pads benefit from these features, making them suitable for vehicles requiring dependable, low-noise braking solutions.

Detailed Product Description

The QC975 disc brake pad set is crafted with ceramic friction material, known for its stable friction coefficient and reduced brake dust compared to semi-metallic pads. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 0.64 inches, ensuring a substantial lifespan. The slotted design enhances heat dissipation during braking, which helps prevent brake fade under heavy use. Chamfered edges and included pad shims work together to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother driving experience. Additionally, the mechanical pad wear sensor alerts drivers when pad replacement is necessary, helping maintain optimal braking performance. The inclusion of abutment clips ensures proper pad alignment and fitment within the caliper assembly.
