Rear Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2010-17 Equinox - Ceramic

In this review of the TRQ rear brake pad and rotor kit, the bottom line is clear: this is a practical, ready-to-install option for owners of 2010-17 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain who want improved stopping performance without a complex upgrade. The kit bundles both rear slotted x drilled premium G-coated rotors and a rear ceramic brake pad set along with brake cleaner, DOT 3/4 fluid, contact point grease and hardware, so it covers the basic service task in one purchase. It is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops who need a direct fit, OE replacement-style solution that reduces dust and improves rotor corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Complete service kit: Includes rear rotors, rear ceramic pads, brake cleaner, DOT 3/4 fluid and installation hardware to streamline a single-visit rear brake job.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed as a direct fit for compatible 2010-17 Equinox and Terrain models to simplify installation and limit modification.
• Premium G-coated rotors: G-coating helps resist surface corrosion for a cleaner appearance and longer shelf life before installation.
• Slotted x drilled surface: The rotor surface pattern is intended to aid heat dissipation and improve wet-weather braking bite.
• Ceramic brake pads: Premium ceramic friction material produces less dust and offers predictable stopping feel suited to daily driving.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2010-17 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain who perform their own maintenance or pay an independent shop for a rear brake service and want a bundled, direct-fit option that includes fluids and cleaner. It is also appropriate for motorists who prioritize lower dust and rotor corrosion protection over race-level friction compounds.

Those who track their vehicle or demand aggressive race pads, or owners of other model years or vehicles should look elsewhere and confirm vehicle specific fitment before purchasing, since some customers reported mixed fit experiences on certain submodels.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value: the included cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid make it a cost-effective one-stop kit.
• Improved cleanliness: ceramic pads produce less wheel dust for cleaner wheels over time.
• Corrosion resistance: premium G-coating on rotors helps keep replacement rotors looking better longer.
• Direct fit design: intended to match OE replacement geometry for easier installation.

Cons

• Fit can be mixed: some buyers reported that fitment varied between vehicle submodels, so confirm fitment before install.
• Not performance race pads: the ceramic compound favors daily driving and low dust rather than track performance.
