TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa

Our review of this TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit finds it best suited for Santa Fe owners who want a complete, direct-fit brake refresh without hunting for separate parts. The kit includes front and rear ceramic pad sets, two front and two rear rotors, plus a brake cleaner and fluid kit, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience: everything needed for a full pad-and-rotor service is in one package and designed to match original fitment. Installation is straightforward for DIYers following TRQ video guidance, and the kit aims to restore like-new braking feel.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic pad sets, two front and two rear rotors, and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so a full service can be performed without extra parts.
• Ceramic pads: Ceramic friction material offers quieter operation and less brake dust compared with many metallic pads for cleaner wheels.
• Direct-fit rotors: Rotors are cast from a G3000 alloy and designed as direct replacements to minimize modifications and speed installation.
• Brake chemical included: Dot 3 and Dot 4 compatible cleaner and fluid are part of the kit to help complete the job properly during the service.
• Application specific design: Parts are molded and matched to factory dimensions, aiming for reliable fit and extended service life for the 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for owners of 2007-2009 Hyundai Santa Fe models who prefer a single purchase that covers both pads and rotors for front and rear axles, and for DIY mechanics who appreciate direct-fit components and access to TRQ how-to videos. It is also a strong choice for anyone seeking ceramic pads to reduce dust and maintain a cleaner wheel appearance.

Drivers who need custom or performance rotors beyond factory-equivalent specifications, or those with nonstandard wheel setups, should look elsewhere. Also confirm vehicle compatibility with the full fitment chart before ordering to avoid fitment issues.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Some users report mixed noise behavior, with occasional squeaking despite the ceramic pads.
