Wagner Thermoquiet pads...

I ordered my Brembo brakes from tirerack.com based on all of the threads in this forum...Now it is time to select a fairly inexpensive but yet effective pads...

Any experience with Wagner thermoquiets...? Dusting, performance, noise, eating up the rotor etc...?


Thanks.

Never heard of them before. Why not just get a set of Hawk HPS or EBC green?

Found the thermoquiet at the local auto supply store for $35 for the fronts. I am giving them a try. I will keep you posted on the status of the pads. The guys at the store were saying that Wagner has this patented technology that reduces the squeeking...let's see if they are right.

thermoquiets are VERY quiet! thats what i had on too with my brembo rotors. it makes no squeals AT ALL! which was the awesome thing, the only problem is that it has no grip whatsoever.. it feels like im riding on stock brake rotors/pads. but once i switched to EBC's, yeah, it was a huge difference.

its really up to you. thermoquiets are quiet and feels too OEM, but if youre just going for looks with jsut the rotor, than i guess its cool.. but if you really want to feel a braking difference, try something else. even if you do pay twice the cost of it..

Stopping power sucks with thermoquiets! Get one of the other recommends and use crc disk break quite and you will be happy.
