Product Details

Warranty Details (LIMITED LIFETIME REPLACEMENT)
Carquest Professional Platinum brake pads are the optimal braking solution that provide an unmatched level of performance and reliability. These brake pads are engineered by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) that meets IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. We use an industry-leading number of friction formulations for maximum performance and extended pad life on each application. Carquest Professional Platinum brake pads also utilize a patented 4-layer HEX shim, now upgraded with aramid fibers, to provide quiet braking and reduce shim wear. These brake pads are also supplied with coated brake hardware and caliper pin grease for nearly every application. Carquest Professional Platinum brake pads are the ideal choice when looking for shorter stopping distances, quiet braking and longer-lasting brakes.

Product Features:
  • Industry-leading number of application specific formulations for maximum performance and extended pad life
  • On-vehicle testing similar to original equipment tests
  • Patented 4-Layer HEX Shim Technology provides quiet braking
  • HEX shim design utilizes aramid fibers, the same fibers used in bulletproof vests, to reduce shim wear
  • Burnishing compound allows for a faster break-in of pads and rotors
  • PTFE coated hardware and caliper pin grease included for nearly every application
  • Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

Great product
After reviewing several products and reading even more reviews, I finally decided to go with this product. Best part was that I was able to place my order online and pick up in a nearby store in less than 45 mins. I took it to my local shop, who let me bring my own parts, and get it installed in less than one hour. I took a test drive and I could hear some noise initially when I started to drive. I was told to give it a couple of days for the new pads to wear in. Well, just as I was told, in a couple of days, I could not hear the noise anymore and they work just as they should - nice and quiet. I will definitely buy them again!
Most Liked Negative Review
check your parts
These are good pads But when I ordered the "Platinum Professional" Ceramic pads, I ordered them becuse of the new white strip in the middle. My rear brake pads had them, but thr Front PXD1222H did not. I installed them anyway and check my receipt and they show the white strip and the part number is correct. Either A.A.Parts is putting the wrong numbers on the boxes or giving old parts.

not perfectly fit in my 2011 camry
Verified Buyer -
it works fine but it is not perfectly fit.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
I would buy the Gold set not platinum
Verified Buyer -
The most expensive pair of brakes that are sold and they don't come with the spring Hardware but the cheaper gold set do come with the Springs makes absolutely no sense I'll go with the cheaper set next time
8000 miles and warped rotors
I took it easy on the new rotors and pads. At 7000 miles I could tell a faint pulsing when braking on the interstate. Now at 8000 it is vibrating when I brake. I need to replace the pads and rotors before the tie rods or something goes bad. Must be cheap metal or these pads cook the rotors.
