In this review the TRQ front and rear brake pad and rotor kit is evaluated for owners of 2010-2013 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2011-2013 Kia Sorento who want an OE-style replacement set that covers both axles. The kit's single biggest selling point is that it combines ceramic brake pads and premium G-coated rotors in one direct-fit package, simplifying a full brake refresh while aiming to match OEM stopping performance and reduce visible dust.

Key Features

• Complete front and rear kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets plus matching front and rear G-coated rotors so both axles are serviced at once for consistent braking feel.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed as a direct fit for specified Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento model years to avoid modification and speed installation.
• Ceramic friction material: Ceramic pads are formulated to produce less dust and a more consistent pedal feel similar to OEM compounds.
• Premium G-coating on rotors: Electrostatic G-coating helps protect rotors from corrosion for longer life in typical road conditions.
• Hardware and grease included: Each pad set ships with contact point grease and required hardware to simplify assembly for DIY installers or professional shops.
• Vehicle-specific references: OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided to confirm fitment before purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing the entire brake system on 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe or 2011-2013 Kia Sorento who want a matched set of pads and rotors for consistent braking and appearance. Buyers who prefer ceramic pads for reduced dust and a quieter ride will appreciate the material choice and included assembly grease.
