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.

Most Liked Positive Review
Long lasting pads
I have purchased this brand and grade previously and that is why I purchased these. They are long lasting and leave very little dust on my chrome wheels. The vibration absorbing pad keeps them quiet.
Most Liked Negative Review
These were the gold ceramic pads too.
The brake abutment hardware was miss-manufactured or incorrectly manufactured. I had to return the 1st set because the hardware was rubbing on the drivers side rotor on full hard right turns. The second time that I took apart the drivers side caliper I could see the drag mark on the rotor. I checked the hardware with a dial caliper to find the issue. One dimension was .015" too wide on the inside spring holders/keepers. This would allow the abutment hardware to slide inward as the pad would move causing it to rub on the rotor. I have never seen anything like this before and I have done 20 brake jobs. I am a certified/licensed air craft mechanic so I have specialized training in brakes systems so I am not just a DYI.

DO NOT BUY THESE!
Verified Buyer -
These are the worst brakes I've ever purchased. They squeak and the amount of brake dust is unbelievable. My wheels are coverd in black soot constantly, it doesn't matter how much I wash it off, it's there! the noise is very annoying. I've been working on vehicles for most of my life and From my experience DO NOT BUY THESE. I wasted my time and money and will never do it again.
I would buy this again
