TRQ Brake Rotors Set Performance G-Coated Slotted X Drilled Rear - Fit

Our review of the TRQ Performance G-Coated Slotted X Drilled Rear Brake Rotors finds them best suited to owners of compatible Subaru and Saab models who want an immediate, direct-fit OE replacement with a more aggressive appearance and improved stopping feel. The bottom line: these are a straightforward, vehicle-specific rotor set that installs easily and upgrades visual and braking performance without modifying the hub, making them a practical option for drivers seeking direct fit replacement rotors with a protective coating and slotted, drilled surfaces.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement, the rotors install without hub modification for a bolt-on swap on listed rear applications.
• G-Coated Finish: A protective coating helps resist corrosion and keeps the rotors looking clean longer in wet climates.
• Slotted and Drilled Design: Machined slots and holes aid heat dissipation and channel gases and debris away from the pad surface for steadier braking.
• Pair Kit: The set includes both driver and passenger rear rotors so both sides match in wear and appearance after replacement.
• Pre-installed Features: Customers note the rotors include pre-installed bearing races in designs that require them, easing installation.

Who It's For

This rotor set is aimed at owners of 1998-2008 Subaru Forester, 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza/Impreza Outback Sport, 1995-1998 Subaru Legacy, and 2005-2006 Saab 9-2X models with rear disc brakes who want a direct-fit aftermarket replacement with improved look and heat management. It is particularly useful for drivers who replace both rear rotors at once to restore balanced braking and appearance.

Those seeking high-end track-only rotors, custom drilled patterns beyond the listed design, or a specific branded factory OEM rotor material may want to compare metallurgy and race-oriented options before buying; this set is focused on street performance and value rather than motorsport certification.

Pros & Cons

Pros
