RX in NC Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 For those of you who may be needing new brake pads soon, I've been very pleased with the Wagner ThermoQuiet organic pads that I installed on my wife's 2004 RX330 AWD on two different occasions this year. I replaced the original rear pads back in March at about 87,000 miles. Replaced the original front pads last week at about 91,000 miles. These Wagner pads are graveyard quiet, grab quicker than the OEM pads do, and create only a miniscule amount of brake dust. They carry a full lifetime replacement warranty. They typically run between $52 and $56 per axle at parts stores such as Advance Auto Parts.... I opted not to turn the rotors on either axle and that has not been an issue at all. The new pads seated perfectly within 50 miles and never uttered a sound. I've been so pleased with them that I also just put a set on the front axle of our 2005 Jaguar S-Type. Again, better than the OEM pads and much less brake dust to contend with.... These Wagner ThermoQuiet pads are a great product. Check 'em out if you're considering new brakes on any of your vehicles.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
