Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for 2010-17 Equinox

In this review the TRQ front and rear ceramic brake pad and rotor kit is evaluated for owners of 2010-17 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain. The bottom line: this kit is for drivers who want a full OE-replacement style solution that combines ceramic brake pads with premium G-coated, slotted and drilled rotors for reliable stopping and reduced corrosion. It stands out because it supplies both front and rear pads, all rotors, and the contact point grease and hardware needed for a clean, direct-fit installation.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The kit is designed as an OE replacement so it installs without modification on compatible 2010-17 Equinox and Terrain models.
• Ceramic Pad Material: Ceramic friction material delivers quieter braking and lower dust compared with older metallic compounds.
• Premium G-Coated Rotors: The rotors have a G-coating to help resist surface rust and maintain a cleaner finish over time.
• Complete Kit: Includes two front and two rear rotors plus front and rear pad sets with contact point grease and hardware for a single-stop brake refresh.
• Performance Surface: Slotted and drilled rotor surface aids heat dissipation and improves wet-weather bite for consistent stopping.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Aftermarket reference numbers and a fitment check are provided to confirm compatibility before purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY owners and independent shops working on 2010-17 Chevrolet Equinox or GMC Terrain models who want a complete front and rear brake replacement using performance-oriented components. It suits drivers who prioritize corrosion resistance and a cleaner-looking rotor surface thanks to the G-coating.

It is less appealing to owners who need OEM-branded parts for warranty reasons or those who demand track-focused compounds; while the pads are performance grade, they are tuned for street use and quiet operation rather than extreme track temperatures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete front and rear package simplifies purchasing and ensures matched pad and rotor combinations for balanced braking.
• Ceramic pads provide good stopping power with reduced brake dust compared to many semi-metallic pads.
• G-coated, slotted and drilled rotors offer improved corrosion resistance and heat management for everyday driving.
• Includes contact point grease and hardware, which makes installation more straightforward for DIYers.

Cons

• Some customers report mixed noise levels with occasional squeak, so additional shims or bedding may be required to eliminate noise.
• Assembly or included parts quality received mixed feedback from a few buyers, so inspect components before installation.
