Front and Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2014-2018 Infiniti

In this review the kit is evaluated for drivers seeking a direct-fit replacement for Infiniti Q50 and Q60 models from 2014 through 2018. The bottom line: this TRQ Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is aimed at DIYers who want a full front and rear replacement set that mimics OEM stopping performance while reducing installation time because it ships with pre-assembled, direct-fit components. It stands out for its complete kit approach, offering both front and rear ceramic pad sets plus matching vented rotors, making it an efficient one-stop service solution.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets and two front and two rear vented brake rotors so you get everything needed for a full axle+rear refresh in one purchase.
• Ceramic formulation: Ceramic pads provide stable stopping performance similar to original equipment while reducing dust compared with many semi-metallic alternatives.
• Direct-fit rotors: Vented rotors are designed as replacement rotors to match the original fit and avoid modifications, saving installation time for home mechanics.
• Extensive reference numbers: Multiple OEM reference numbers are listed to improve compatibility confidence with a variety of factory part cross-references.
• DIY support: Backed by the brand's video library and guidance, helping owners "view before they do" when tackling the job themselves.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Infiniti owners and competent DIY mechanics who need a full brake refresh for 2014-2016 Q50 models and specific 2018 Q50/Q60 variants without performance packages, including drivers who prefer ceramic pads for cleaner wheels and an OEM-like feel. It suits anyone who wants to replace both pads and rotors at once to ensure matched wear and braking response.

It is not ideal for users with performance brake packages or multi-piston rear calipers, or for those who prioritize motorsport-grade compound or track-focused stopping power. Buyers should confirm specific fitment against their vehicle options before ordering.
