Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 1999-2003 F-150 - G-Coated

In this review of the rear brake pad and rotor kit, the bottom line is straightforward: this package is aimed at owners of late 1990s to early 2000s Ford trucks and SUVs who want a full, OE-style replacement with performance-minded components. The reviewer found the kit valuable because it combines direct fit parts with useful consumables-brake cleaner, DOT 3/4 fluid and contact point grease-so a weekend DIYer can complete a rear brake job without sourcing extra items. It is best for vehicles on the compatibility list and for installers who prioritize a ceramic pad and G-coated rotors for quieter, cleaner braking.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The kit is made to replace rear braking components without modification, which reduces installation time for home mechanics and shops.
• Complete Kit Contents: It includes a rear ceramic brake pad set, two rear rotors, parking brake shoes and hardware so the entire rear system can be serviced in one job.
• Consumables Included: A 12 oz DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid and 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner are included to flush and clean the system during the job.
• Performance Rotors: Premium G-coated, slotted and X-drilled rotors help shed heat and resist corrosion for longer life under normal street use.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided so buyers can check fitment for 1997-2004 Ford/Lincoln models before purchase.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 1999-2003 Ford F-150 trucks with 5-lug rear wheels, 1997-2002 Expeditions, 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigators, 2002 Lincoln Blackwood and the 2004 F-150 Heritage who want a single-package solution for rear brake replacement. It suits DIYers who appreciate having pads, rotors, parking shoes and basic fluids and cleaners included, which reduces trips to the parts store.

It is not ideal for owners of vehicles outside the listed compatibility or for those who require factory-original branded parts with dealer calibration; a few buyers reported mixed fit results so confirm OE reference numbers 1L3Z2648AA and others against your VIN before ordering.
