Product Information

Product Details
Part No. GNAD785
Warranty Details (LIMITED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT)
Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are original equipment (O.E.) replacement brake pads designed for consistent, quiet and clean braking. Our brake pads are engineered by manufacturers that meet IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. Carquest Premium Gold brake pads utilize application-specific friction formulations that provide extended pad life and cleaner wheels. These brake pads also feature OE-designed slots and chamfers for consistent performance. To prevent noise, our Carquest Premium Gold brake pads also utilize a multi-layer shim and are supplied with new brake hardware (most applications-see fitment notes). Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are the best choice when looking for brake pads that meet or exceed the OE stopping performance.

Product Features:
  • Application-specific friction formulations provide shorter stopping distances and extended pad life
  • Hardware included for most applications
  • OE-designed slots and chamfers to reduce noise and vibration
  • Multi-layer shim provides near silent braking
  • Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

Most Liked Negative Review
Poor fit when using hardware mkit
As noted by other reviewers, these pads are a tight fit when using hardware kit P/N 5645A. It's as though there is a wrong spec for material thickness on the HW kit, the pads are designed to fit the caliper bracket w/o the HW kit, the coating on the pads takes them out of tolerance limit or the pad backing plate tooling is in need of maintenance. Others have filed / ground the pad edges but this will expose the raw steel edge to rusting. Not a happy situation.
