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

Great OEM replacement! No noticeable noise!
I bought these to replace brake pads on a 2008 Toyota Camry. In summary, there is no noticeable brake noise and they feel as good as the pads I had on the car before. Surprisingly, the Wearever Gold came with the optional accessories (shims, springs, retaining clips, wear indicator tabs). Some pads don't have all of these optional components and require the user to utilize the old accessories, so I was pleased that the pads came with these. The only hard part was getting the wear indicator tabs to bend correctly to fit into the calipers. It is a tight squeeze and I had to get rid of one of them since I couldn't get the brake pads to sit properly with them on.

wearever gold brake pads...or not???
If the pads described here are the same as what I received once I picked them up at the store then they're not worth the extra $$$ spent as the cheapest ones worked just as well. These claim to have noise quieting and low dust control but they have squeaked since the 1st day they were replaced as well as continuously coating my wheels with black dust after each day of driving...the problem is that I don't think the pads I ordered and paid for are the actual pads I received once I got to the store. I checked them out before leaving and I noticed they looked nothing like they do in the picture so i asked the sales rep who rang me up and I was told "nah, that's just the way they look!" Maybe I'm crazy but I think I may have been scammed!!!

These went on pretty good, had some trouble with the stainless steel clips, ended up reusing the factory one's, other than that I like these just fine.
Front brake pads and rotors replacement on 2013 Toyota Camry
Verified Buyer -
Front brake pad and rotor replacement job on 2013 Toyota Camry SE. Purchased brake pads and rotors on-line at local Advanced Auto Parts store. Parts were ready for pick-up as expected. Both pads and rotors were installed with no issues and all parts were supplied with the brake pads for replacement.
Good price for brake pads
Verified Buyer -
I haven't had them on my car for more than just a few weeks but they they are currently working fine, I believe the price was great specially since a discount was provided by buying them online, and picking them up at the store.
