Carquest Premium Gold Front Brake Pads: Ceramic, With Hardware, Long Life, Quiet, and Low Dust - Front

These do the job - they're brake pads. Make sure to purchase some grease as the gold kit doesn't come with it - they have small packets at register / check out that's more than enough. Brake pads are extremely easy to do, even for someone with no experience. Aside from removing your wheel, you'll have to unscrew 1-2 bolts (make sure not to do the brake line bolt or you'll have to bleed your brakes). Most cars will take a 14mm socket up front, remove the two bolts (some cars you can only remove bottom, and flip the caliper "hood" up), set the caliper hood on a box, remove old pads, put new ones in, add some grease to the outside of pads, compress caliper piston and reassemble. Very, very easy - even for someone with little to no experience. You'll need a socket wrench and socket (probably 14mm), and a c clamp or large channel locks will help to compress the caliper piston when you re-install.

These pads left my wheels BLACK! I thought ceramic brakes left less dust. Went back to the store where I purchased and they said "Oh yeah, you bought the Gold Pads and they're having that problem". They said they changed the formulation because of many complaints that they squeak. Now my car is beginning to pulsate as I come to a stop. Only installed 3 months ago. Stay away from these!
