TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2002-06 Infiniti Q45

In this review the TRQ front brake pad and rotor kit is evaluated for drivers who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement for the front braking system on 2002-06 Infiniti Q45 and 2003-04 M45 models. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is convenience: it combines OE-replacement rotors, ceramic pads, and a small brake chemical kit so a DIY mechanic or professional can service both sides without sourcing parts separately. The kit aims to restore braking performance with a direct fit and includes DOT 3/4 fluid, brake cleaner, and hardware for a one-stop repair.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The rotors and pads match vehicle-specific dimensions to avoid modifications and speed installation.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The front ceramic pads are formulated for quieter operation and reduced dust compared with semi-metallic alternatives.
• Complete Front Kit: Including two front rotors, a pad set with contact point grease and hardware, plus brake fluid and cleaner provides everything needed for a front axle job.
• Vented Rotor Design: The vented front rotors help dissipate heat during repeated stops, which supports consistent braking feel.
• Application Specific Casting: The G3000 casting alloy and positive molded pads aim to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for extended service life.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2002-06 Infiniti Q45 and 2003-04 Infiniti M45 who prefer a consolidated, vehicle-specific brake repair solution and want ceramic pads for quieter operation. It suits independent mechanics and competent DIYers who can perform a front axle brake job and appreciate having cleaning and fluid on hand.

Those who need rear brake parts, heavy-duty track use components, or long-term endurance testing results should look elsewhere; this kit is intended as an OE-style replacement for street use and comfort-oriented braking rather than race-spec performance hardware.

Pros & Cons

Pros
