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

Get ceramic brake pads
Noise-Level: Ceramic brake pads are very quiet, creating little-to-no extra sound when the brakes are applied.Wear & Tear Residue: Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads tend to produce less dust and other particles over time as they wear down.Temperature & Driving Conditions: Compared to organic brake pads, ceramic brake pads can be more reliable in a wider range of temperatures and driving conditions.

Avoid eagle valley store East Stroudsburg pa
Used PC to purchase since the mobile version is impossible to use to make an online order. Went to pick up parts, before I left the store asked clerk to double check I've got correct parts for my van. He looks it up and says I'm good to go. I attempt repair over weekend, SHOCKER I've purchased wrong parts. Had to have friend drive me back to store for correct parts. Returned parts and AAP clerk searched for correct parts and SHOCKER, I needed different parts that should have been offered when I requested my online order be double checked. My new parts purchase was not offered any discount for my inconvenience of needing to return to a store for parts that I asked to double checked for proper fit. Since I was unable to use the online app to get a purchased discount I was made to pay full price for my new parts. The next day after repairs I purchased the correct parts again online to get discount , then return those parts with my non discount receipt to get the discount I feel I'm entitled to since although I originally ordered the wrong parts online, I did ask the AAP clerk to confirm I have correct parts for my van. The clerk failed to see what I had ordered was wrong. I didn't pick up my order and walk out, I asked for the parts to be verified before I leave. AAP manager said this "is not our problem " you ordered parts. True, however I asked AAP clerk to check and he failed his job, but somehow that's my fault. If I walk out without asking if parts are correct, then yes I'm absolutely at fault. If I ask the clerk to check my parts are proper fit and he doesn't catch the discrepancy, then we share the blame, it's not "you ordered the parts, not it problem" that's pathetic customer service. So the manager wasn't happy I was trying to use a work around to get my discount, he stated ,"I'm not playing these games" Funny thing happened. I called ‭+1 (877) 238-2623‬ advanced auto parts customer service, they agreed, my local AAP store blew it. I got 25% off and $20 :)

Brake Review
Verified Buyer -
They were easy to install. They work well. Only 4-stars because I don't know how long they will last.
Not what was shown in photo
Verified Buyer -
Great product and reasonable price. However, photo showed clips and lube included. Was told had to pay more for those. Otherwise great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Good Quality Pad. Easy to install
Verified Buyer -
I am getting very familiar with these pads because the vehicle I am installing them on is known to go through brakes at a rapid rate. From what I learned, the brake system is undersized for the vehicle but the manufacturer denies it. We go through brakes and rotors way too often.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
Good
Verified Buyer -
Good fit, no squeaks.
Good psds
Verified Buyer -
Good pads. Maybe deserve five stars, but I have only had them for 600 miles, so I can't really say anything about their durability. Straight forward installation; no break in noises or smells. Drove in the mountains, and they worked fine.
