I guess the figure that they will wear evenly enough that you only need one with the squealer.

The one with the squealer goes on the inside (piston side) of the caliper.

That saves them $0.01 for every part that they manufacture which adds up to substantial savings at the end of the year. Lol

I just put on a set of Autozone Duralast Gold Cmax ceramic pads. To me the stock brakes seemed to have had more stopping power. Hopefully as they break in a little they will stop better. I also replaced the rotors so that may be some of the issue. Please let me know how the Wager pads do for you.

goes on the right/inside, should be on the leading edge of the rotor (bottom of caliper for rear mount calipers)
