Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for 2002-2003 Impreza

In this review of the TRQ front and rear brake pad and rotor kit for 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza WRX, the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is for owners who want a complete, direct-fit OE replacement that includes everything needed for a full brake refresh. The reviewer found the inclusion of both front and rear ceramic pads, g-coated slotted and drilled rotors, and a brake chemical kit (brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid) made the job convenient and economical, and the kit delivers near-OE stopping performance when installed correctly.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Comes with front and rear ceramic pads, matching g-coated performance rotors, and contact point grease with hardware so a full axle refresh can be completed without extra parts.
• Brake chemical kit included: A 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid are supplied to support safe cleaning and a proper fluid top-up or bleed during installation.
• Performance rotor surface: Slotted and drilled, g-coated rotors offer improved heat dissipation and reduced corrosion compared with plain rotors for spirited driving or regular use.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed as a direct OE-style replacement for 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza WRX models, simplifying selection and installation for compatible vehicles.
• Ceramic friction material: The ceramic brake pads aim to provide quieter stopping and stable pedal feel with reduced dust compared with many semi-metallic pads.

Who It's For

This kit suits Subaru Impreza WRX owners who need a full front and rear brake service and prefer a single purchase that includes pads, rotors, hardware and chemicals. It is a good match for DIYers and independent shops that value a complete, vehicle-specific package and want g-coated, slotted and drilled rotors for better cooling.

It is less appropriate for drivers who need track-focused, ferrous high-friction compounds or those whose cars fall outside the listed fitment. Buyers who prioritize absolute silence above all else should be aware some users report mixed noise outcomes with ceramic pads.
