TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2005-2012

In this review the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a complete replacement option for owners of 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder models. The bottom line: this kit is for the DIY owner who wants a full front and rear ceramic pad and rotor overhaul with direct-fit components and a protective G-coating on the rotors. Its strongest selling point is the convenience of a matched kit that includes both front and rear ceramic pads plus premium G-coated rotors, saving time on parts selection and simplifying installation.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets plus two front and two rear premium G-coated rotors so both axles are serviced at once for consistent braking performance.
• Ceramic friction material: Ceramic pads deliver quieter operation and reduced dust compared with many semi-metallic pads, helping keep wheels cleaner after installation.
• Premium G-coated rotors: The electrostatic G-coating helps resist corrosion during storage and on the vehicle, extending rotor appearance life in varied driving conditions.
• Direct-fit design: Pre-assembled components are engineered as direct replacements to match original fit and reduce the need for modifications during installation.
• Vented rotors: Front and rear rotors use vented construction to help manage heat during repeated stops and preserve pad life under normal driving loads.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Pathfinder owners with 2005-2012 model years who prefer to perform a full axle brake refresh themselves or with a local shop using direct-fit parts. It is especially useful for drivers who want ceramic pads for lower dust and a rotor coating to slow surface rust development.

It is less suitable for performance-oriented drivers seeking aggressive track braking compounds or for those who need specialty rotors beyond the vented OEM-style design. Also, confirm exact vehicle fitment notes before purchase to ensure the listed reference numbers match the specific model and trim.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete front and rear kit simplifies parts sourcing and typically results in consistent braking feel across both axles.
• Ceramic pads offer good stopping performance with reduced wheel dust compared with many alternatives.
• G-coated rotors provide added corrosion resistance and a cleaner long-term appearance.
• Designed as direct-fit replacements, helping make installation straightforward for experienced DIYers.

Cons

• Some users report mixed noise feedback, with occasional squeak reported under certain conditions.
• At least one customer comment noted concerns about rotor accuracy and assembly variability, so inspect parts on arrival.
