Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban

In this review the kit is evaluated as a complete rear brake replacement option for owners of 2002 Chevrolet and GMC full-size trucks and SUVs. The TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is aimed at DIYers and independent shops that want a ready-made solution: it includes rear calipers, a semi-metallic pad set, two premium G-coated rotors and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so you can replace the whole rear braking assembly in one job. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience-everything needed for a rear axle service is packed in, backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile parts warranty.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear calipers, a rear semi-metallic brake pad set and two premium G-coated rotors so a full rear service can be completed without sourcing additional parts.
• Semi-metallic pads: Premium Posi bonding and semi-metallic friction material deliver consistent stopping power and good heat resistance for towing and daily driving.
• G-coated rotors: The premium G-coating provides corrosion resistance to extend rotor life and maintain a cleaner appearance over time.
• Brake cleaner and fluid included: The kit supplies cleaner and fluid to make pad and rotor installation cleaner and to help ensure proper hydraulic function after installation.
• OEM reference compatibility: Multiple reference numbers are listed to match replacement needs and ease part cross-referencing during purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Avalanche 1500 and GMC Yukon rear wheel drive models who prefer a do-it-all replacement without hunting for individual calipers, rotors and pads. Independent mechanics who service classic early 2000s GM trucks and SUVs will also appreciate the packaged convenience and the included cleaning and brake fluid supplies.

Customers who need front brakes only or those with four-wheel drive rear assemblies should look for the correct front or 4WD-specific kits; fit reports are mixed so verify hub and anti-rattle clip style before ordering to avoid a size mismatch.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Everything needed for a rear brake axle replacement is included, saving time sourcing parts.
• Semi-metallic pads and premium G-coated rotors provide good stopping performance and corrosion resistance.
• Included cleaner and fluid reduce the chance of missing consumables during installation.

Cons

• Fitment reports are mixed for some vehicles, so checking the exact rear hub and clip type is necessary before purchase.
• Warranty covers product cost only and does not cover labor or vehicle damage.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit is a sensible value for owners and mechanics who want a single-purchase rear axle rebuild for compatible 2002 GM RWD trucks and SUVs. It pairs semi-metallic pads with G-coated rotors for reliable stopping and longer rotor life, and the included calipers and consumables reduce back-and-forth parts runs. Verify fitment details before ordering, but for matching vehicles this kit offers clear convenience and good value against buying components separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit fit four-wheel drive models?
Fitment is for rear wheel drive rear axles with a center anti-rattle clip; four-wheel drive rear hubs may differ and require a different kit.

Does the warranty cover labor?
No, the 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty covers product cost only and does not cover labor or consequential damage.

Are the pads pre-bonded to reduce break-in noise?
The pads use a Premium Posi bonding process and semi-metallic material designed for consistent performance, though some noise reports vary by vehicle and parking shoe condition.
