Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2008-2011 Titan/Armada/QX56

In this review the reviewer tested the TRQ front and rear performance brake pad and rotor kit as a direct-fit replacement for late 2000s Nissan Titan, Armada and Infiniti QX56 models. The bottom line: this kit is best for owners who want a single-purchase, vehicle-specific brake refresh that includes both rotors and ceramic pads plus brake cleaner and fluid. The biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a full OE-replacement style kit with premium G-coated rotors and ceramic pads that install like factory parts.

Key Features

• Complete Kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets, matching G-coated rotors and hardware so the whole axle gets refreshed in one purchase.
• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement for the specified Titan, Armada and QX56 years so it fits without modification on compatible vehicles.
• Premium Rotor Surface: The G-coated slotted and drilled rotors resist corrosion and help maintain braking performance over time.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The included front and rear ceramic pads are formulated for quiet operation and consistent pedal feel similar to OEM brakes.
• Brake Chemicals Included: The kit provides a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and a 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid, offering everything needed to finish the job properly.
• Hardware and Grease: Pads come with contact point grease and necessary hardware to simplify installation and reduce post-install noise risk.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at do-it-yourself mechanics and independent shops working on 2008-2010 Nissan Titan, 2008-2011 Nissan Armada or 2008-2010 Infiniti QX56 who want a complete OE-style replacement that covers both axles. It suits owners who value corrosion-resistant rotors and the reduced dust and predictable feel of ceramic pads.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers needing performance track-specific compounds or vehicles outside the listed fitment; always check the listing fitment details and OE reference numbers before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Full axle kit saves time sourcing parts and ensures matched rotor and pad performance.
• G-coated slotted and drilled rotors offer better corrosion resistance than plain cast rotors.
• Ceramic pads deliver a consistent pedal feel and tend to produce less brake dust than semi-metallic options.
• Includes brake cleaner, DOT 3/4 fluid and contact point grease so installers have required consumables on hand.

Cons

• Some customers reported mixed assembly quality and occasional missing hardware, so inspect the kit on receipt.
• A portion of users noted intermittent squeak; additional break-in or shims may be needed to eliminate noise.
