Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for Jeep Liberty and Dodge Nitro - Complete

Our review of the TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit finds it best for owners who need a complete rear brake refresh without sourcing parts separately. The kit includes semi-metallic pads, premium G-coated rotors and a rear parking brake shoe set, making it a convenient one-stop replacement for compatible 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro and 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty models. The single biggest reason to buy is the integrated approach: rotors are electrostatic coated for rust protection and the semi-metallic pads promise stronger initial bite and reduced dust compared with older organic pads.

Key Features

• Complete rear kit: Includes rear parking brake shoes, a rear semi-metallic pad set and two rear G-coated rotors to replace all major rear components at once.
• Semi-metallic pads: Provide firm stopping power and improved wear resistance, which helps restore braking performance on heavier SUVs.
• Premium G-coated rotors: Offer electrostatic rust protection to keep rotors looking cleaner and reduce surface corrosion during storage.
• Application specific design: Parts are designed for direct fit on specified Dodge Nitro and Jeep Liberty rear assemblies to avoid modifications in most installations.
• Positive molded pads: Engineered to produce less dust for cleaner wheels and a neater finish after use.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIY owners and independent shops working on 2007-2011 Dodge Nitro or 2008-2012 Jeep Liberty rear brakes who want a complete, coordinated set of parts. It suits drivers looking to restore like-new performance and reduce future rotor corrosion with a coated finish.

It is not the best choice for vehicles outside the listed fitment or for customers who require OEM-branded parts for warranty or exact factory match; some buyers report mixed fit experiences, so those who need guaranteed factory identical fit may prefer measuring hub and rotor dimensions first.
