TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Ceramic G-Coated Replacement

In this review the TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for drivers who need a direct-fit, OE replacement front braking solution for late 1990s to 2010 Acura and Honda models. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is that it combines both front ceramic brake pads and premium G-coated rotors with brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid, making it a convenient one-stop package for a front brake service. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops wanting a complete, vehicle-specific kit that aims for quiet operation and straightforward installation.

Key Features

• Complete Kit: Includes front ceramic pad set, two front G-coated rotors, brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid so users get all items needed for a front brake job in one purchase.
• Direct Fit OE Replacement: Built as a direct fit to match OE mounting points and references like 45022S0KA12 for a hassle-free swap on compatible Acura and Honda models.
• Premium G-Coating: Rotors receive a protective G-coating to resist corrosion and maintain appearance compared with uncoated discs.
• Ceramic Pads: The front ceramic brake pad set is designed to deliver quieter stopping and reduced dust compared with many semi-metallic compounds.
• Hardware & Grease Included: The kit ships with contact point grease and necessary hardware so installers do not have to source extra small parts.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of compatible Acura TL, CL and Honda Accord/TSX models from the late 1990s through 2010 who want a single package replacement for front rotors and pads. It fits those who prefer ceramic pads for quieter operation and a rotor coating that helps resist rust in climates where road salt or moisture is a concern.

It may not be the ideal choice for drivers needing high-performance or track-oriented brake compounds, or those who require extended longevity beyond typical street use, since some customers reported variable durability under heavy use.
