TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 1997-02 Ford

In this review of the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is for owners of 1997-2002 Ford Expedition and 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator 4WD who want a complete, direct-fit OE replacement set without hunting for separate parts. The kit includes front and rear semi-metallic pad sets with contact point grease and hardware plus two front and two rear vented rotors, making it a convenient one-stop replacement that aims to restore stopping performance to near OEM levels.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear semi-metallic brake pad sets with contact point grease and hardware plus two front and two rear rotors to cover a full axle service in one purchase.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement for the specified model years so installation requires no modifications when fitment matches the vehicle.
• Semi-metallic pads: The friction material delivers stopping performance similar to OEM pads and is built to handle repeated highway and towing loads common to Expedition and Navigator owners.
• Vented rotors: Front and rear rotors are vented to help dissipate heat and reduce fade during heavier braking conditions.
• Durable construction: Cast from a G3000 alloy for reduced noise and improved wear resistance compared with generic castings.

Who It's For

The kit is best for drivers who own a 1997-2002 Ford Expedition or a 1998-2002 Lincoln Navigator with 4WD and need a complete brake overhaul that matches OE reference numbers such as F75Z2001AA and XL3Z2200AA. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that want a packaged solution with pads, rotors, grease and hardware included.

Shoppers who require premium low-dust or ceramic pads, or those with unique aftermarket brake upgrades, should look elsewhere; this kit is a practical OE-style replacement rather than a high-end specialty performance system.
