Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for 2011-2016 Impala

In this review of the TRQ Front and Rear Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at Impala owners who want a full, vehicle-specific replacement set that matches OE stopping performance with upgraded rotors and ceramic pads. The reviewer found the package useful for a single DIY service session because it contains both front and rear premium G-coated rotors, matched ceramic pad sets with hardware, and a small brake cleaner and DOT fluid kit, making it a convenient all-in-one replacement for 2011-2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited models without police or taxi packages.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pads, front and rear premium G-coated rotors, and the necessary hardware so a single purchase covers the whole axle replacement task.
• Direct fit: Labeled as an OE replacement disc brake kit, it fits the specified Impala model years without the police or taxi package when fitment is checked.
• Performance rotors: The rotors are slotted and drilled and G-coated for improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance during normal driving conditions.
• Ceramic pads: Front and rear ceramic pad sets include contact point grease and hardware to reduce installation steps and help ensure proper pad seating.
• Brake chemical kit: The kit supplies a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and a 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid so you can complete basic cleaning and fluid topping when swapping components.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2011, 2012, 2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited who need a full front-and-rear brake refresh and prefer a single package that includes rotors, pads, hardware and basic chemicals. A DIYer with basic tools and experience replacing rotors and pads will appreciate receiving matched components and the provided grease and hardware to streamline installation.

It is less well suited for vehicles with police or taxi packages or for customers who require OEM-branded parts or very specialized high-performance track components. Also, buyers who prioritize a completely silent pad compound may wish to research reported mixed noise feedback before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Cons
