Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2002-2004 Honda CR-V - Complete Kit

Our review of the TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit finds it best suited for DIY drivers and independent mechanics who want a complete, direct-fit front brake solution for 2002-2004 Honda CR-V models. The biggest reason to buy is the all-in-one nature of the kit: it includes both front rotors, a semi-metallic pad set and a brake cleaner and fluid kit, saving time sourcing matched parts and ensuring immediate install readiness. Fitment is designed to match factory dimensions and the kit emphasizes ease of installation and quiet operation.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes two front rotors, a front semi-metallic pad set and a brake cleaner & fluid kit so users have all required items for a front brake job.
• Direct fit design: Pre-assembled components are made to match original fitment to avoid modifications and reduce installation time.
• Semi-metallic pads: The pads use semi-metallic friction material that balances stopping power with acceptable dust and wear characteristics for everyday driving.
• Vented rotors: Front rotors are vented with an 11.10 in (282mm) diameter to help dissipate heat and maintain consistent braking performance.
• Noise and wear focus: G3000 casting alloy and positive molded pads aim to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for longer service life.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for owners of 2002-2004 Honda CR-Vs who prefer to complete their own maintenance or for independent shops that want a matched rotor and pad set that installs without modification. The included chemical kit is useful for DIYers who need brake cleaner and fluid on hand during the job.

Those seeking high-performance or race-oriented braking should look elsewhere, as the semi-metallic pads and OEM-style rotors are tuned for street use and everyday durability rather than track performance. Also, drivers prioritizing longest possible pad life at the expense of initial bite may prefer other compound choices.
