TRQ Front Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Calipers - Smooth

In this review the TRQ Front Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2012-2016 Ford F-150 trucks with 6 lug front wheels. The kit delivers a complete front axle replacement including a front ceramic brake pad set, premium G-coated slotted and drilled rotors, and two pre-assembled front calipers, so the single biggest reason to buy is convenience: it supplies everything needed for a direct-fit swap that aims for quieter, smoother stopping with minimal fuss. For DIYers who prefer to "view before they do," the brand also provides video support to guide installation.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front ceramic pads, G-coated performance rotors, and two front calipers to replace the entire front braking assembly in one service.
• Ceramic friction: Ceramic pads are formulated to reduce dust and provide quieter operation compared with many semi-metallic alternatives.
• G-coated rotors: Premium G-coating helps resist corrosion and maintains a cleaner rotor surface for longer life and consistent appearance.
• Slotted and drilled surface: The rotor pattern aids heat dissipation and helps maintain braking performance under heavier loads and repeated stops.
• Direct-fit design: Pre-assembled calipers and OE-style fitment simplify installation and reduce the need for modifications.
• DIY video support: Brand-provided videos make the replacement process easier for home mechanics who want visual guidance.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Ford F-150 owners from model years 2012 through 2016 with 6 lug front wheels who want a complete front-end brake refresh in one purchase. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that prefer a direct-fit solution with pre-assembled calipers to save time during installation.

It is less appropriate for owners seeking high-track performance brake compounds or heavy-duty commercial use where specialized rotors and pads designed for sustained extreme heat are required; those buyers should look for motorsport or heavy-duty commercial brake packages instead.

Pros & Cons
