Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for 2013-2017 Ford

In this review of the TRQ kit for select 2013-2017 Ford C-Max and 2013-2016 Escape models, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a direct-fit, full axle replacement kit that aims to match OE stopping performance while offering the corrosion resistance of premium G-coating. The reviewer found it best for owners who want to replace both front and rear braking components at once with a ceramic pad set and rotors included. Fitment needs checking against vehicle specifics, but when matched correctly the kit simplifies installation and restores confident braking.

Key Features

• Complete axle kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets plus front and rear premium G-coated rotors so both axles are serviced at once for consistent feel.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed as an OE replacement so it installs without modification on compatible 2013-2017 Ford C-Max and 2013-2016 Escape applications.
• Ceramic pad formulation: Ceramic pads offer lower dust and an OEM-like pedal feel, which helps maintain wheel appearance and predictable stopping.
• G-coated rotors: Premium G-coating increases corrosion resistance on the rotor hats and faces, improving long-term appearance and reducing rust.
• Hardware and grease included: Each pad set comes with contact point grease and necessary hardware for a smoother installation when the kit is complete.

Who It's For

The kit is best for owners of compatible Ford C-Max Energi and Escape models who prefer to replace both pads and rotors in one service and want parts that mirror OE performance while adding a corrosion-resistant rotor finish. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that value a single SKU for a front-and-rear overhaul.

It is not ideal for vehicles outside the listed fitment window or for drivers seeking heavy-duty track-focused pads; those users should select application-specific performance or racing components rather than this street-focused ceramic and coated rotor kit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality and fit: many buyers report the parts fit like OEM and restore normal braking feel.
• Value for money: a complete front-and-rear kit reduces time spent sourcing parts separately.
• Performance and ease of installation: ceramic pads stop predictably and hardware/grease simplifies DIY fitment.
• Corrosion resistance: G-coated rotors improve long-term appearance compared with uncoated rotors.

Cons

• Noise level is mixed: some users experienced squeaking, so occasional brake noise may occur.
• Assembly completeness: a minority reported missing parts, so verify all hardware is present before install.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The TRQ front and rear ceramic pad and G-coated rotor kit is a practical, cost-effective solution for compatible Ford C-Max and Escape owners who want OEM-like stopping power with improved rotor corrosion protection. It is good value when the fitment matches your vehicle and the installer confirms included hardware, making it a sensible choice for routine axle-level brake replacement.
