Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Calipers - Semi-Metallic Premium

In this review the TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is judged as a solid, affordable option for heavy-duty Ram and Dodge trucks that need a full front-end brake refresh. The kit is aimed at owners of 2009-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 and certain 2012 Ram 1500 Tradesman HD models with 8 lug wheels, and the single biggest reason to buy is that it ships as a complete 5-piece assembly with calipers, semi-metallic pads and premium G-coated rotors for a ready-to-install replacement that balances value and performance.

Key Features

• Complete 5-piece kit: Includes a front semi-metallic brake pad set, two front calipers and two premium G-coated rotors so a full left and right front service can be completed at once without sourcing parts separately.
• Semi-metallic pads: The premium Posi bonding semi-metallic pads deliver confident stopping power and are formulated to work well under heavy loads common to 2500/3500 trucks.
• G-coated rotors: Premium G-coated rotors resist corrosion and extend visible life and appearance compared with uncoated rotors, especially in harsh driving conditions.
• Includes calipers: Factory-style replacement calipers reduce installation steps by replacing worn calipers along with pads and rotors for a more complete rebuild.
• Warranty coverage: Backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile parts warranty that covers the cost of the products themselves for added peace of mind.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 or 2011-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 who want a single purchase that replaces pads, rotors and calipers at once. It is particularly useful for truck owners who prefer semi-metallic pads for durability and braking under load and who appreciate the corrosion resistance of G-coated rotors.

Do not choose this kit if you need rear braking parts, a different rotor coating, or if your vehicle is outside the listed fitment. Professional installers and DIY mechanically confident owners will get the most from this complete kit because it requires proper brake bleeding and torque procedures when replacing calipers.

Pros & Cons
