TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2005-2012 Nissan

In this review the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder models who want a complete OE-style replacement without sourcing parts separately. The kit's biggest selling point is that it bundles everything needed for a front and rear brake service - two front rotors, two rear rotors, front and rear ceramic pad sets with hardware and contact point grease, plus brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid - which simplifies maintenance and ensures compatible components in a single purchase.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear rotors, front and rear ceramic brake pad sets with hardware and contact point grease, making a full axle service straightforward.
• Chemical kit included: A 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3 and 4 brake fluid are provided so the bleeding and rotor prep steps can be done without extra trips to the parts store.
• Direct fit: Designed as an OE replacement with stated OE reference numbers to match factory fit and eliminate fitment guesswork when the part numbers align.
• Ceramic pads: Ceramic friction material is used to reduce dust and provide braking performance close to OEM feel for everyday driving.
• Vented rotors: Both front and rear rotors are vented to help manage heat during repeated stopping and preserve pad life.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Nissan Pathfinder owners with 2005-2012 model years who prefer a single-purchase solution for a full front and rear brake service and want parts that match OEM reference numbers. The inclusion of cleaner and brake fluid makes it well suited to DIY mechanics comfortable performing rotor swaps and brake bleeding, and to small shops doing routine brake jobs where time and parts compatibility matter.

It is less appropriate for drivers who need vehicle-specific confirmation beyond the stated fitment range or for those who require exact factory-branded components; buyers with unusual modifications or nonstandard lug patterns should double-check fitment before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High value packaging: rotors, ceramic pads, hardware, cleaner and fluid all in one kit reduces ordering errors.
• Generally good fit and performance reported, with braking feel comparable to OEM in normal driving.
• Ceramic pads produce less dust and the vented rotor design helps with heat management.

Cons

• Some buyers reported occasional squeak and mixed feedback on assembly completeness, so inspect the kit on delivery and verify all hardware is present.

Specifications

The TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is a practical, cost-effective option for most 2005-2012 Nissan Pathfinder owners who want a full-service brake replacement with compatible components and included chemicals. It delivers OEM-style fit and ceramic pad benefits at good value, but buyers should inspect the box for missing hardware and be aware that a small number of users reported noise under certain conditions.
