Front Semi-Metallic Brake Pad & G-Coated Rotor Kit - Direct Fit

In this review of the Front Semi-Metallic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit the bottom line is clear: this kit is for drivers who want a complete, direct-fit OE replacement that combines improved stopping performance with simple installation. The reviewer found the included premium G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors and semi-metallic pads deliver predictable braking feel and quiet operation on compatible 1997-01 CR-V and listed Acura/Honda models. The kit also includes brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid so a front brake job can often be completed without extra trips to the parts store.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes a front semi-metallic pad set, two performance G-coated rotors, contact point grease, hardware, 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid so most front jobs are covered from start to finish.
• Direct fit: Built as an OE replacement disc brake kit with vehicle-specific fitment to match factory mounting for straightforward bolt-on installation.
• Performance rotors: Premium G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors resist corrosion and aid pad bite and heat dissipation for more consistent braking under load.
• Semi-metallic pads: Pad compound balances stopping power and noise control for everyday driving while maintaining good pad life in typical use.
• Reference compatibility: Includes a long list of OE and aftermarket reference numbers to help confirm fitment for specific vehicle years and models.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of the compatible Honda and Acura models listed who want a direct-fit, budget-conscious brake overhaul with performance-oriented rotors. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer receiving all necessary consumables in one package, including brake cleaner and fluid, and value a quiet, well-fitting brake solution.

It is less suited to drivers who demand track-focused compounds or extreme longevity under heavy commercial use; customers seeking long-life ceramic pads or motorsport-spec rotors should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit kit with all required hardware and fluids makes installation quick and convenient.
• G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors improve heat management and resist surface corrosion.
• Semi-metallic pads provide solid stopping power with generally low noise during normal driving.
