Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2002-04 Jaguar X-Type - Semi-Metallic

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2002-2004 Jaguar X-Type who need a complete rear service solution. The kit's single biggest draw is that it bundles rear semi-metallic pads, two rear rotors and a brake chemical kit together, making a one-stop replacement that restores braking feel and saves time sourcing parts separately. For DIY mechanics and independent shops wanting a matched rotor and pad set, this kit aims to deliver consistent stopping power and lower noise with an application specific design.

Key Features

• Semi-metallic pad material: Delivers strong initial bite and consistent braking performance under mixed driving conditions.
• Complete kit contents: Includes rear pad set, two rear rotors and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so technicians can do the job without buying extra consumables.
• Rotor construction: G3000 casting alloy is used to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for longer rotor life.
• Positive molded pads: Produce less dust which helps keep wheels cleaner after installation.
• Application specific design: Rotors and pads are made to fit the 2002-04 X-Type rear setup, avoiding on-vehicle modification when the fit is correct.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Jaguar X-Type owners (model years 2002 through 2004) who prefer a matched pad-and-rotor set and want to complete a rear brake service in one visit. It is especially useful to DIYers and independent shops that value lower dust pads and a included brake chemical kit to streamline the job.

Buyers who need specialty performance rotors, track-focused materials, or who are uncertain about exact fitment should verify reference numbers or consult a professional; a few customers reported mixed fit results, so double-check fitment for nonstandard wheel or parking brake configurations.
