Max Advanced Brakes Rear Brake Kit for Mitsubishi Outlander - Heavy

In this review the Max Advanced Brakes Rear Brake Kit is evaluated for drivers who need reliable stopping power for towing, mountain routes, or regular urban and highway use. The kit's biggest draw is its combination of drilled and slotted e-coated rotors with thermal-stable ceramic pads, which deliver consistent braking and reduced fade under load. For anyone replacing rear brakes on compatible Outlander, Outlander Sport or RVR models, this kit aims to offer durability, improved pad bite and protection against corrosion while remaining straightforward to install.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty design: The PerformanceMAX setup is built for towing and mountain driving, providing stronger braking performance during repeated heavy stops.
• Slotted and drilled rotors: Directional slots and cross-drilling improve pad bite and help eject water, gas and debris for more consistent contact under stress.
• Black e-coating: The black protective finish helps resist salt, moisture and corrosion so rotors stay cleaner behind open wheels.
• Ceramic brake pads: Thermal-stable carbon-ceramic compound delivers low fade and strong stopping power across wide temperature swings without harsh vibration.
• Complete rear kit: Includes two rear e-coated rotors, four ceramic pads and installation hardware to replace the rear brakes in one service.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of compatible Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander FWD, Outlander Sport and RVR models who tow occasionally, drive in hilly terrain, or simply want a more robust rear brake setup than standard parts. DIYers who prefer a complete rear kit with hardware will appreciate the included components and straightforward fit.

Those who primarily seek low-cost, short-term stopgap pads for light city driving might look elsewhere for the least expensive option, and drivers who need a specific noise-free guarantee should note some users reported mild squeal after several hundred miles in a few cases.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Improved stopping performance under heavy loads due to slotted and drilled rotors and ceramic pads.
• Better corrosion resistance from the black e-coating helps maintain appearance and longevity.
• Good overall fit and value for money when replacing the rear brake system as a set.
• Includes installation hardware for a one-stop service and easier DIY replacement.

Cons

• Some customers report occasional squealing after a few hundred miles, so bedding-in and break-in procedure matter.
