TRQ Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Ceramic Premium G-Coated - Rear Brake

In this review the TRQ Ceramic Premium G-Coated Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a direct-fit rear brake replacement for 2003-2005 Infiniti G35 and 2003-05 Nissan 350Z models with single piston rear calipers. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at owners who want a complete rear brake refresh that pairs ceramic pads with G-coated rotors for cleaner wheels and long-lasting corrosion protection. It stands out because it bundles pads, calipers and rotors so the rear system is renewed in one job, saving time versus sourcing separate parts.

Key Features

• Complete rear kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, two rear calipers and two premium G-coated rotors so the entire rear braking assembly is refreshed in one install.
• Ceramic friction material: The ceramic pads are designed to produce less dust, which helps keep wheels cleaner compared with many semi-metallic alternatives.
• Premium G-coating: Electrostatic coating on the rotors provides long-lasting rust protection for improved durability in wet or salty conditions.
• Direct-fit design: Pre-assembled components are made to be direct replacements for the original equipment, reducing the need for modifications during installation.
• Quiet casting alloy: G3000 casting alloy is used to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for a smoother stop over time.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2003-2004 Infiniti G35 (rear with single piston rear calipers), 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z (rear with single piston rear calipers), and 2005 Infiniti G35 AWD rear applications who want a one-package rear brake replacement. It suits DIYers and independent shops that prefer a matched set of pads, calipers and rotors to avoid mix-and-match compatibility problems.

Drivers seeking high-performance racing pads or heavy towing capacity should look elsewhere, since this kit focuses on everyday driving: cleaner wheels, corrosion resistance and reliable stopping for street use rather than track-optimized friction compounds.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit replaces pads, calipers and rotors, simplifying labor and parts sourcing.
• Ceramic pads offer reduced dust for cleaner wheels and comfortable everyday braking.
• G-coated rotors resist rust, extending rotor life in corrosive climates.
• Direct-fit components speed installation and reduce the need for modifications.

Cons

• Some customers reported fit issues with the outboard pad on a minority of vehicles, so careful fit verification is recommended before installation.
• Noise levels received mixed feedback, with a few reports of audible behavior under certain conditions.
