Front and Rear Brake Kit Compatible with 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox

Our review of this front and rear brake kit finds it best suited for owners of 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrain who want a complete, do-it-yourself replacement that matches OE fit. The biggest reason to buy is convenience: the kit includes balanced front and rear rotors plus ceramic-based pads and all necessary clips, which reduces parts hunting and helps ensure consistent stopping performance out of the box. For a homeowner mechanic or independent shop replacing rotors and pads together, this kit is a straightforward choice.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes 2 front discs, 2 rear discs, 4 front pads, 4 rear pads and all pad clips so both axles can be serviced without extra parts.
• OE compatibility: Rotors and pads are matched to the recommended part numbers for a proper fit on covered Equinox and Terrain model years.
• Balanced rotors: Each rotor is factory balanced to help reduce vibration for a smoother, more stable brake feel after installation.
• Ceramic pads: The mainly ceramic pad compound offers lower dust and good fade resistance for cleaner wheels and consistent braking under normal driving.
• Corrosion resistance: Rotors have a galvanized surface treatment to resist rust and maintain appearance over time.
• Installation tip included: The kit recommends cleaning the mounting shaft before fitting rotors to ensure quiet operation and correct seating.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox and 2010-2017 GMC Terrain who want a single purchase that covers both front and rear brake hardware. It is especially convenient for DIYers and independent shops that prefer to replace rotors and pads simultaneously rather than sourcing individual parts.

It is not the best choice for drivers who need high-performance racing compounds or specialty materials beyond ceramic, or for vehicles outside the stated model years. Buyers seeking slotted or drilled performance rotors should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons
