TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2010-2016

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a direct OE replacement for owners of 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage models. The bottom line: it is for drivers who want a complete rear brake refresh that installs without modification and restores solid braking performance. The kit's biggest selling point is the combination of ceramic pads and matched rotors provided together, which simplifies installation and helps reduce dust and noise compared with some generic pad-and-rotor combos.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so the parts bolt on without modifications for the specified Tucson and Sportage rear application.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Positive molded ceramic pads offer reduced dust and a quieter operation compared with semi-metallic options.
• Complete Kit: Includes a rear ceramic brake pad set with contact point grease and hardware plus two rear rotors for a full rear-axle service in one purchase.
• Application Specific Design: Rotors and pads follow vehicle-specific specifications to help ensure correct fit and extended service life.
• G3000 Casting Alloy: Rotor material choice targets improved wear resistance and reduced noise during braking.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops working on front-wheel-drive 2010-15 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-16 Kia Sportage who want a matched pad-and-rotor set that restores rear braking without the fuss of sourcing parts separately. It is particularly useful for owners who prefer low-dust ceramic pads and a straightforward, OE-like replacement process.

Drivers looking for upgraded performance racing components or specific anti-rust surface treatments should look elsewhere, since this kit focuses on OE fitment and balanced everyday performance rather than high-performance track use or enhanced corrosion coatings.
