Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Parking Shoes - Ceramic Stopping Power

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for drivers who need a complete rear brake refresh for select Honda Crosstour and Accord Crosstour models. The bottom line: this kit is best for a DIYer or independent shop seeking a matched set of rear ceramic pads, rotors, and parking shoes that restore confident stopping and reduce dust; the single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a matched kit that replaces pads, rotors, and parking brake shoes in one purchase. The review focuses on fit, materials, and real-world ease of installation.

Key Features

• Ceramic brake pad friction: Ceramic pads deliver quieter operation and less dust, which helps keep wheels cleaner over time.
• Complete rear kit: Includes rear ceramic pads, rear parking brake shoes, and two rear rotors so the entire rear braking assembly is replaced at once.
• Application specific design: Parts are shaped for the rear Crosstour applications to minimize or eliminate modifications during installation.
• G3000 casting alloy rotors: Rotors made with this casting approach are intended to reduce noise and resist wear for longer service life.
• Positive molded pads with multi-layer shim: Construction improves bedding, reduces vibration, and enhances long term performance under normal driving conditions.
• 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty: Product coverage for two years gives added confidence in the component quality for the cost of parts.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2012-2015 Honda Crosstour rear axles and 2010-2011 Honda Accord Crosstour rear axles who want to replace pads, rotors, and parking shoes together for a cleaner, like-new braking feel. A late-model Crosstour owner doing a DIY brake job or an independent mechanic will appreciate receiving all rear components that often wear together.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers unsure about vehicle fitment: some customers reported mixed fit results, so confirm exact model year and rear with parking shoes before ordering. Also, high-performance or track-driven cars may require different pad compounds than ceramic for extreme heat handling.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good stopping power and perceived quality when installed as a matched set.
• Reduced wheel dust thanks to ceramic pad material and positive molding.
• Includes parking shoes and rotors so the rear brake system is fully refreshed in one kit.
• Two-year warranty on parts provides reasonable product protection for buyers.

Cons

• Fit is mixed in some customer reports, so accurate vehicle compatibility checks are required before purchase.
• Warranty covers product cost only and does not reimburse labor or incidental costs if issues arise.

Our Verdict

The TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is a practical, value-oriented choice for Crosstour owners needing a full rear brake replacement, especially for DIYers who want the convenience of pads, rotors, and parking shoes together. It balances quieter ceramic performance and reduced dust with durable rotor casting, but buyers must verify fitment and accept that warranty covers parts only. For most street-driven Crosstour owners this kit restores braking performance without breaking the budget.
