Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Chemical Kit - Complete Rear Brake

In this review the TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit is evaluated as a complete replacement option for owners of 2005-2008 Ford Escape, 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner, and 2005-2008 Mazda Tribute models. The bottom line: this kit is for DIYers who want a full rear service pack that includes rotors, ceramic pads, parking shoes and a brake cleaner and fluid kit, making it the most convenient single purchase for a rear brake overhaul. The single biggest reason to buy is the inclusion of all rear service components in one package, which saves shopping time and helps ensure matched parts.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, two rear rotors, rear parking brake shoes and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so buyers receive everything needed for a rear brake service in one shipment.
• Ceramic friction: Ceramic brake pad material reduces dust production and is designed for quieter operation compared with many semi-metallic pads.
• OE-style fit: Application specific design and pre-assembled components aim to provide direct replacement fit to minimize modifications and installation time.
• Durable rotors: G3000 casting alloy is specified for reduced noise and improved wear resistance to extend rotor life under normal driving.
• Compatibility references: Supplied reference numbers and compatibility notes help match the kit to 2005-2008 Escape, Mariner and Tribute rear brake assemblies.

Who It's For

This kit is best for independent DIY mechanics and owners of the listed model years who want a ready-made rear brake service pack and value convenience and matched parts. Anyone tackling a rear brake job who prefers ceramic pads for lower dust and quieter operation will find this kit appropriate.

Shops or users who require exact OEM-branded parts or who have a model with nonstandard rear hardware should verify fitment carefully; a few customers reported mixed fit results so confirming vehicle compatibility before purchase is recommended.
