TRQ Ceramic Front & Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Kit for 2010-16

In this review of the TRQ Ceramic Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is clear: this is a full, direct-fit replacement kit aimed at owners of 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage AWD who want OEM-like stopping power and an all-in-one service solution. The kit includes both front and rear ceramic pads and premium G-coated slotted and drilled rotors plus a brake cleaner and fluid kit, so the biggest reason to buy is convenience combined with performance where direct fit replacement and easy installation matter most.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pads, front and rear G-coated slotted x drilled rotors, and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so a single purchase covers a full axle service on both ends.
• Ceramic friction: Ceramic brake pad material delivers smooth, OEM-like stopping performance and reduced dust compared with many semi-metallic compounds.
• G-coated rotors: Premium G-coating on the rotors protects against corrosion and maintains appearance over time, especially in wet climates.
• Performance surface: Slotted and drilled rotor surfaces help with heat dissipation and gas evacuation under repeated or spirited braking.
• Direct fit: Components are pre-assembled to match factory fitment for the specified Tucson and Sportage AWD models, reducing installation time and the need for modifications.

Who It's For

This kit is best for do-it-yourself owners of 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson and 2011-2016 Kia Sportage with all wheel drive who want a straightforward, full front-and-rear brake refresh without sourcing parts separately. It appeals to drivers who value a ceramic pad for cleaner wheels, and rotors with slotted and drilled faces for improved heat management and a premium finish.

It is not the right choice for drivers who need a track-only performance compound or who require custom rotor sizes; this kit is designed as a direct replacement with the stated rotor diameters and a focus on everyday driving performance and longevity.

Pros & Cons
