TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for Nissan Altima and Maxima

Our review of the TRQ Front and Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit finds it best suited for owners of 2005-2006 Nissan Altima and 2004-2008 Maxima who want a complete, vehicle-specific replacement that installs without modification. The kit's single biggest selling point is the all-in-one convenience: front and rear ceramic pad sets with hardware, four rotors sized for the vehicle, plus brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid, which means a single purchase covers friction parts, rotors and the basic chemicals needed for a brake service.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed for a bolt-on installation that matches OE dimensions so the rotors and pads align with the factory mounting points and hardware.
• Complete Kit: Includes two front and two rear rotors, front and rear ceramic pad sets with contact point grease and hardware, plus a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid for a single-stop service.
• Ceramic Pads: The ceramic friction material produces less dust and is intended to reduce wheel staining compared with semi-metallic options.
• Vented Front Rotors: Front rotors are vented to help dissipate heat during repeated stops, supporting consistent braking performance under normal driving conditions.
• OE and Aftermarket References: Provided OE reference numbers and multiple aftermarket cross-references to help confirm fitment for specific vehicle VINs or parts lookups.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops servicing 2006 Nissan Altima SE-R or 2005-2008 Nissan Maxima owners who prefer an all-inclusive replacement that minimizes trips for missing parts. The inclusion of cleaner, fluid, pads, rotors and hardware makes it practical for doing a front and rear service in one session.

It is not for drivers seeking performance racing compounds or custom rotors; the components are intended as OE-style replacements offering comfort and longevity rather than track-level performance. Also check fitment details against OE reference numbers before purchasing to ensure compatibility with specific trim levels.
