Front and Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & G-Coated Rotor Kit for 2011-15

In this review of the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at owners of 2011-2014 Ford Edge and 2011-2015 Lincoln MKX who want a direct-fit, OE-replacement braking package that installs without surprises. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the complete nature of the kit - front and rear ceramic pads plus matching premium G-coated rotors and necessary hardware - which reduces parts hunting and makes a caliper-by-caliper replacement practical for DIY mechanics and shops alike.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets plus two front and two rear G-coated rotors so both axles are refreshed at once.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement for compatible 2011-14 Ford Edge and 2011-15 Lincoln MKX models to simplify installation without modification.
• Ceramic pads: The ceramic friction material delivers predictable stopping performance similar to OEM while aiming to reduce dust compared with semi-metallic pads.
• Premium G-coating: The rotors feature a protective G-coated finish to slow corrosion and keep a cleaner appearance over time.
• Hardware included: Pads ship with contact point grease and the specified hardware to avoid sourcing small parts separately during the job.
• Vehicle specific fitment: OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided in the listing to confirm correct application before purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX owners who want a single-purchase solution that replaces both pads and rotors front and rear, especially for models without integrated hubs. It suits DIYers comfortable with brake work and independent shops that prefer matching pads and rotors for consistent feel and appearance.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of models with integrated hubs or vehicles outside the stated model years; always check the vehicle specific fitment information and referenced OE numbers before ordering to avoid incompatibility.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality fit and finish reported by many customers, providing an OEM-like brake feel and reliable stopping performance.

• Ceramic pads reduce visible brake dust and the G-coated rotors resist corrosion for a cleaner look over time.
