TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2011-2016

In this review of the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is clear: this kit is best for Impala owners who want a full OE-style replacement that installs without modification and restores confident stopping. The reviewer found the package to be a practical, cost-effective alternative to individual parts, because it includes front and rear ceramic pad sets with contact point grease and hardware plus four rotors, simplifying a full brake service for 2011-2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited models.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to replace original components without the need for modifications, so installation is straightforward for a DIY or professional job.
• Complete Kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets with contact point grease and hardware plus two front and two rear rotors, which saves time sourcing individual parts.
• Ceramic Friction: Ceramic pads are formulated to produce less dust and quieter operation in normal use, helping keep wheels cleaner over time.
• Application Specific Design: Rotors and pads are cast and matched to the vehicle application, promoting consistent wear and extended service life when fitted correctly.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Multiple reference numbers are provided to help confirm compatibility with existing part lookups and service records.

Who It's For

The TRQ kit is aimed at owners of 2011-2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited models without police or taxi packages who prefer replacing pads and rotors together for consistent braking feel. It suits DIY mechanics who want a single purchase that includes pads, rotors, grease and hardware for a full axle refresh.

It is less appropriate for owners of police or taxi package vehicles, vehicles with nonstandard brake options, or anyone who needs a premium performance compound for aggressive driving. Also check vehicle-specific fitment in the listing before purchasing to avoid returns.
