Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2004-2009 Lexus/Toyota

In this review the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of mid-2000s Lexus RX and Toyota Highlander models who want a complete, direct-fit replacement. The bottom line: this kit delivers a full set of ceramic brake pads and rotors with OE-style fitment that makes it an easy single-purchase solution for front and rear service. It is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops that need a matched pad-and-rotor kit that aims to match OEM stopping performance while minimizing wheel dust.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets plus two front and two rear rotors so both axles are serviced at once for consistent performance.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement disc brake kit to simplify installation without modifications on compatible Lexus RX and Toyota Highlander models.
• Ceramic friction: Ceramic brake pad material is formulated for lower dust and stable braking feel compared with many semi-metallic pads.
• Hardware and grease included: Each pad set ships with contact point grease and hardware to ensure proper fit and reduce installation guesswork.
• Application specific: Casting and pad molding are matched to the vehicle families listed to help reduce noise and extend pad and rotor life.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at owners of 2004-2009 Lexus RX330/RX350/RX400h and 2006-2007 Toyota Highlander who prefer to replace pads and rotors together for consistent braking and a single maintenance event. It suits DIYers comfortable with rotor replacement and independent mechanics who want a ready-made set that matches OE references.

It is not the best choice for vehicles outside the stated fitment or drivers seeking high-performance track pads; anyone needing a performance compound or who requires exact OEM parts from a dealer should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Included hardware and contact grease make installation more straightforward and reduce missing-piece surprises.

Cons
