Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2005-2010 Scion tC - Complete DIY Kit

In this review of the TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit for the 2005-2010 Scion tC, the bottom line is simple: this is a convenient, cost-effective option for DIYers who want a complete rear brake refresh in one purchase. The kit includes rear ceramic pads, two rear rotors, parking brake shoes, and a brake chemical kit with Dot 3 and 4 fluid and cleaner, so the single biggest reason to buy is the time saved by getting all matching rear components together and mostly pre-assembled for a direct fit replacement.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pad set, two rear rotors, rear parking brake shoes, and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so you can do the full rear service in one go.
• Ceramic pad material: Positive molded ceramic friction material reduces dust and aims to keep wheels cleaner compared with semi-metallic pads.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2005-2010 Scion tC who prefer a DIY approach and want matching rear components that are engineered to work together. The inclusion of parking shoes and the cleaner/fluid kit makes it particularly useful for tech-savvy DIYers doing a scheduled rear brake service or replacing worn rotors and pads at the same time.

Shoppers who demand OE-branded parts or who need guaranteed fit confirmation from dealer paperwork should consider alternative sources or verify vehicle compatibility carefully, since a few users report mixed fit results and it is wise to confirm fitment with a vehicle fit tool before purchase.

Pros & Cons
