Wagner Brake ZX145 Disc Brake Pad Set - Front

Wagner QuickStop ZX145 Front Brake Pads

Wagner Brake QuickStop ZX145 disc brake pads are built for drivers restoring front braking performance on select Mercedes-Benz models. This semi-metallic pad set uses a 100% post-cure process to promote consistent friction across the pad life and is engineered to reduce vibration-related noise.

Compatible with front brake applications on Mercedes-Benz 300SE, 300SEL, 300SD, 300SDL, 300D, 300TD, 350SD, 350SDL, 380SE, 380SEL, 380SEC, 380SL, 380SLC, 420SEL, 500SEC, 500SEL, 560SEC, and 560SEL models, the Wagner Brake ZX145 is a direct-fit option for OE-style service work.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic friction material for front disc brake service
• Slotted pad design to help manage heat and surface conditioning
• 0.590 in. inner and outer friction material thickness
• 100% post-cure process for even friction performance
• Engineered to reduce noise-causing vibration
• FMSI number 7111-D145
• Pad wear sensor, shims, and abutment clips are not included

Product Details

The QuickStop line focuses on restoring like-new brake feel with OE-style fitment and controlled friction behavior. For Mercedes-Benz front brake pad replacement, ZX145 is a practical choice when you need a semi-metallic pad set that matches the original application requirements on many 1968-1991 Mercedes-Benz 300 and 500/560 series vehicles. This part cross-references Centric Parts 300.01450 for the same application.

Common Brake Issues Addressed

• Reduced stopping performance from worn front pads
• Brake noise caused by vibration at the pad interface
• Uneven friction response during pad wear
• Service replacement needs on OE-equipped Mercedes-Benz front brakes
• Heat-related fade concerns during normal street driving

Installation Notes

• Verify caliper type and chassis notes before ordering, especially on 300D and 560SEL applications with listed caliper or chassis-specific requirements.
• Inspect rotors, calipers, and guide hardware before installing new pads.
• Clean pad contact points and confirm proper pad movement in the bracket.
• Because shims and abutment clips are not included, reuse or replace related hardware as needed during service.
• Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure and bed-in process after installation.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake QuickStop pads are tested to restore braking performance and are manufactured with a post-cure process to help maintain consistent friction characteristics throughout pad life. The design also targets vibration control to support quieter operation in normal front brake service.
