Front and Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2013-15 Acura ILX

In this review of the TRQ front and rear brake kit, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a complete, vehicle-specific replacement designed for owners of 2013-14 Honda Civic and 2013-15 Acura ILX models who want OEM-style performance with easier stopping and low dust. The kit stands out because it includes both front and rear ceramic pad sets plus matching G-coated slotted x drilled rotors and a brake chemical kit, so it is aimed at DIY installers and technicians looking for a single package that replaces rotors, pads, and supplies needed for a fresh brake service.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pads, front and rear G-coated performance rotors, brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid so installers have everything for a full brake service.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement for the specified Civic and ILX fitments, making installation straightforward when vehicle compatibility is confirmed.
• Performance rotors: Slotted x drilled, premium G-coated rotors offer improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance compared with plain rotors.
• Ceramic pad material: Ceramic friction delivers quieter operation and less dust compared with many metallic pads while maintaining strong stopping power similar to OEM on street-driven cars.
• Chemical kit included: A 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid are supplied, removing the need to source small consumables separately for a brake job.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2013-14 Honda Civic EX and 2013-15 Acura ILX with the specified 4-cylinder layouts who want a single purchase to replace rotors and pads front and rear. It suits DIYers comfortable with rotor and pad replacement and technicians who appreciate the included cleaner and fluid for a tidy install.

Those who need specialty track pads, ceramic pads for a different vehicle, or absolute silence should verify fitment carefully and consider an alternative if they require guaranteed noise-free operation, since some users report mixed noise and assembly experiences.
