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.

Very satisfied!
Used as replacements on my 2008 Silverado. Pads fit exactly with no issues. Have not experienced any brake squeal so far. Have not seen any brake dust yet, but have only had the pads on for a couple of weeks. Brake pedal feel and stopping distance have been excellent. Would recommend the pads for anyone looking for a good replacament.

Worst brake pads I've ever put on a car
My girlfriend's father purchased these pads for me to install on her 2012 Malibu. At 8,000 miles, they wore grooves into the new wearever rotors that were installed at the same time and became grindy and coarse like worn out brakes despite having worn only about 10%. I always take my time doing brake jobs, making sure to do it right. I clean the rotors with non chlorinated brake cleaner, clean the pad surface, use silicon paste to lube the slide pins, and put anti seize on all contact points. This is definitely a poorly formulated brake pad. There is too much ceramic in the friction material which chews cheap steel rotors to all hell. At 15,000 miles they have became so bad without any warning that I will need to replace them immediately. They sound and feel like metal on metal and scrape while the brakes aren't being applied despite being only being half worn. I will never agree to install ceramic pads again. Semi metallics only from here on out. There is no other reason these brakes shouldn't have lasted 30,000 miles or more like the OEM brakes did.

Squeek

The pads install easy enough, I think it took me less than 40 minutes to replace the rotors and pads on my Silverado. I decided to get the better ceramic pads this time around. I normally like the metallic, they put off more dust but don't tend to make any noise. Let's just say I'll switch back on my next set. The pads stop the truck that's a plus. They just keep making a quite squeek and I even bedded them on top of lubing the shims and pad itself. I just cant get these to not make any noise. Under hard braking they are fine, it's a slow stop with less force they make noise at. I installed the metallic on my wife's car and they work perfect... their cheaper too.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Not an exact fit for 2011 chevy
Verified Buyer -
Beware, this shoe has same overall dimensions as OEM but pad surface is much larger and retaining clips must be bent and altered to install. Advertised as exact fit, not true.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Will purchase the font pads
Verified Buyer -
My wife drives this vehicle, as of now, no complaints.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
