TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Premium G-Coated Ceramic Performance

In this review the TRQ Front Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of select Ford and Lincoln models who want a complete, direct-fit front brake service option. The kit's biggest draw is its all-in-one approach: it ships with OE-style rotors, a front ceramic pad set, necessary hardware and a brake cleaner and DOT 3/4 fluid, making it a practical choice for DIYers and independent shops that want a straightforward replacement without hunting separate parts. The inclusion of premium G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors promises improved heat dissipation and reduced corrosion compared with plain cast rotors.

Key Features

• Direct Fit Replacement: The kit is designed to match OE fitment for compatible 2009-2019 Ford and Lincoln front applications, reducing installation guesswork and alignment issues.
• Complete Service Kit: It includes front rotors, a ceramic pad set, hardware, contact point grease, a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and a 12 oz DOT 3/4 brake fluid so a technician can perform a full front brake service from one box.
• Premium G-Coated Rotors: The G-coating helps resist surface rust and maintains a cleaner appearance while the slotted and x-drilled faces help with heat management under repeated stopping.
• Ceramic Performance Pads: The ceramic compound delivers quieter operation and generally lower dust than semi-metallic pads, which customers noted as a benefit for everyday driving.
• OE and Aftermarket References: The kit lists OE reference numbers and several aftermarket equivalents, simplifying cross-referencing for parts departments and installers.

Who It's For

The TRQ kit is best for owners of compatible 2010-2019 Taurus, 2015-2019 Explorer, 2009-2012 Lincoln MKS/MKT and 2013-2014 Explorer (non-heavy duty) who want a single purchase that includes rotors, pads and fluids for a front brake job. It suits DIY mechanics comfortable with rotor and pad replacement and independent shops that prefer a ready-to-install kit.

It is less appropriate for drivers seeking high-performance track pads or drivers who expect the longest possible pad life under heavy towing or aggressive driving; some users reported mixed durability over long term use, so those needing maximum wear life should consider dedicated heavy-duty or performance friction options.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit lets you replace front rotors and pads plus fluid and cleaner in one purchase.
• Customers report a good fit and quiet operation with smooth stopping feel from the ceramic pads.
• G-coated, slotted and x-drilled rotors improve heat dissipation and resist surface rust compared with plain rotors.

Cons

• Durability feedback is mixed; a minority of users reported pads that did not last as long as expected under heavier use.

Specifications

Our Verdict
