Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 02-06 Chevrolet GMC - Ceramic G-Coated

Our review covers the TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit built for select 2002-2006 Chevrolet and GMC trucks, and the key reason to consider it is its complete, vehicle-specific OE replacement approach. In this review the kit's strength is that it combines ceramic brake pads with premium G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors plus parking shoes and backing plates, so a buyer replacing a full rear brake assembly gets a coordinated set rather than individual parts. It aims at owners who want a direct fit OE-style replacement without hunting separate components.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, parking brake shoe set, rotor backing plates and performance rotors so installers have all rear components in one package.
• OE replacement fit: Designed as a direct fit kit with OE reference numbers listed to match vehicle applications, reducing fitment guesswork when cross-referenced with the vehicle.
• Premium rotors: G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors provide improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance for longer rotor life in harsh conditions.
• Hardware and grease included: Pads arrive with contact point grease and necessary hardware to simplify installation and reduce accessory purchases.
• Vehicle-specific compatibility: The listing specifies compatibility for 2002-2006 Silverado and related trucks with certain ring gear sizes and rear calipers, helping buyers verify fitment for dual piston rear calipers and 4 wheel disc setups.

Who It's For

This kit is a good match for owners of 2002-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and similar GMC trucks who need a coordinated rear brake replacement and prefer ceramic pads for quieter operation and less dust. It suits DIY mechanics and small shops that want a single SKU to replace pads, rotors, parking shoes and backing plates together.

It is not for drivers uncertain of ring gear size or caliper configuration; those who require an exact factory match should check the vehicle-specific fitment notes closely before purchase. Also, drivers seeking high-performance track braking should consider specialty performance compounds beyond ceramic road pads.

Pros & Cons

Pros
