SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- Federal-Mogul's innovative Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic brake pads are the first aftermarket brake pads available for 2010 Buick LaCrosse models. The new ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads (p/n QC1421, front; QC1430, rear) are now available through replacement parts distributors across North America.

As a leading global manufacturer of original equipment friction components, Federal-Mogul is consistently among the first aftermarket manufacturers to introduce replacement brake pads for late-model foreign-nameplate and domestic applications.

“Being first to the aftermarket with proven friction solutions is a key competitive advantage that helps parts providers and repair shops grow their businesses,” said Ken Selinger, director of friction products, North America, Federal-Mogul. “Wagner ThermoQuiet Ceramic pads are the right choice for shop owners, service writers and technicians who want to avoid brake repair comebacks. These brake pads combine our latest technologies to address the unique needs of each foreign-nameplate and domestic vehicle.”

Available for a comprehensive range of vehicles that were factory equipped with ceramic pads as well as many popular models originally using semi-metallic formulations, Wagner ThermoQuiet disc brake pads combine the exclusive benefits of two patented technologies: Federal-Mogul’s award-winning Integrally Molded Insulator (IMI) one-piece brake pad and Wagner EDGE Laser-Shaped Friction designs. Combined with the company’s extensive portfolio of proprietary, application-specific formulations, these technologies deliver quieter performance, superior stopping power and longer pad life.
