Carquest Professional Platinum Truck/SUV 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

Noticeable difference in braking.
I drive a high performance super-charged FJ cruiser with over-sized tires as my daily driver. I frequently pull a boat or go off road-ing and I know good brakes are essential for safe operation all the time, but more so under the extreme service that I do. Once broken in exactly according to the instructions there was a very noticeable change in braking. No more pulling to one side (due to un-even wear). The brakes are quiet and clean, were easy to install. I suggest some nitrile or vinyl gloves though as you should clean and check all brake parts for leaks or damage and newer chemicals can be tough on skin.

Order somewhere else - Awful service - wrong brakes sent
you guys sent the wrong brakes - nothing worst then to pull the wheel off to find out they are the wrong ones. your 800 numuber is awful - i have been on hold for 20 mins 3 times. your service is so bad that i cannot even leave a VM bc your mailbox is full i called the local stores and they are not helpful - you guys sent the wrong brakes you have wasted to much of my time - no more!

I replaced both rotor & pads as well as had the rear inspected and adjusted. Pedal is tighter but I want it more tighter. Overall a great product and I would purchase again.

Perfect fit and quiet
Verified Buyer -
Replaced brakes on my truck. I bought it used so I'm not sure if they were OEM or not, but these were much quieter and stop great. Easy to install, just dropped right into the caliper and bolted it all back together.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
