TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Direct Fit for Impala

In this review the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a complete OE replacement option for 2011-2013 Chevrolet Impala and 2014-2016 Impala Limited models. The bottom line: this kit is for owners who want a straightforward, vehicle-specific swap that includes both front and rear rotors and semi-metallic pads, saving the trouble of buying parts separately. The reviewer found the kit to provide near-OE stopping performance and good value, with simple installation for mechanically comfortable DIYers or quick work for a competent shop.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear rotors plus front and rear semi-metallic pad sets so both axles can be serviced at once without parts hunting.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement so parts align with factory mounting points and avoid modification on compatible Impala models.
• Semi-metallic pads: Pads deliver durable friction that closely mimics OEM stopping while balancing wear resistance for everyday driving.
• Included hardware and grease: Comes with contact point grease and necessary hardware for pad installation, reducing the chance of missing small items during the job.
• Application specific design: Rotors are cast from a G3000 alloy and molded to reduce dust and noise for longer service life in the intended vehicles.

Who It's For

The kit is best for owners of compatible Chevrolet Impala and Impala Limited models who want a full axle replacement that matches OE fitment without custom work. It suits DIY mechanics who can handle rotor and pad replacement and shops that need a ready-made package to service both axles quickly.

It is not the ideal choice for vehicles with a Police or Taxi package or for drivers who need specialty rotors (vented rear rotors or performance compounds) since the rear rotors here are solid and the pads are semi-metallic. Buyers who require noise-free ceramic pads or heavy duty police-grade components should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality fit and finish that reviewers say installs cleanly and matches factory alignment for compatible model years.
• Good value: packaging both rotors and pad sets for front and rear reduces overall cost and trips to the parts store.
• Performance is comparable to OEM brakes in routine driving, offering dependable stopping power and wear resistance.
• Included contact point grease and mounting hardware simplify installation and lower the risk of missing parts.

Cons

• Some users reported mixed noise levels, with occasional squeak that may require bedding or anti-squeal measures.
• A few buyers noted inconsistent assembly or missing pieces in rare cases, so inspect the kit on arrival before installation.

Our Verdict

The TRQ brake pad and rotor kit is a practical, cost-effective option for Impala owners who need a full front and rear replacement with reliable, near-OE performance. It is especially good value for routine street use and straightforward installations, but buyers seeking the quietest ceramic pads or specialized duty components should consider alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this kit include everything needed to replace both axles?
Yes. The kit ships with front and rear rotors, front and rear semi-metallic pad sets, mounting hardware and contact point grease so both axles can be serviced together.

Will these rotors fit Impalas with Police or Taxi packages?
No. Compatibility notes specify the kit is for models without the Police and Taxi package; those variants often use different components.

Are the rear rotors vented?
No. The listing specifies the rear brake rotors are solid rather than vented, which is suitable for standard passenger use but not heavy-duty duty cycles.
