TRQ Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Complete Replacement

Our review of this TRQ front and rear brake kit finds it best suited for DIY mechanics and owners of compatible Ford models who want an all-in-one replacement solution. The kit delivers a straightforward, direct-fit swap with both front and rear ceramic pads and premium G-coated rotors, plus brake fluid and cleaner to finish the job. The single biggest reason to buy is convenience: everything needed for a front and rear brake refresh on the listed vehicles arrives in one box, reducing parts hunting and compatibility guesswork.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets with contact point grease and hardware so installers have the essential parts on hand.
• Performance rotors: Front and rear premium G-coated rotors provide improved corrosion resistance and a clean finish that helps maintain braking performance over time.
• Brake chemicals included: A 12 oz DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid and a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner are included so bleeding and prep work can be completed without extra purchases.
• Direct fit replacement: Labeled as an OE replacement disc brake kit with listed OE and aftermarket reference numbers to simplify fitment checks for compatible Ford Ranger, Explorer and Mountaineer models.
• Hardware and grease: Contact point grease and necessary hardware are included with each pad set, reducing the chance of missing small components during installation.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 1995-02 Ford Ranger, Explorer and 1997-01 Mercury Mountaineer models with the specified torsion bar front suspension and rear wheel ABS who prefer to perform their own brake service or have a trusted shop install parts they supply. It suits those who value getting pads, rotors and the small but important chemicals in one shipment.

It is less suitable for vehicles outside the stated fitment list or for buyers who need specialty rotors or non-ceramic compound pads. Professional shops needing single-component replenishment may prefer ordering pads or rotors individually rather than a full kit.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Quality ceramic pads and G-coated rotors offer reliable stopping power and good corrosion resistance.
• All necessary hardware, contact point grease, brake fluid and cleaner included for a complete service.
• Direct-fit, OE replacement design simplifies installation for compatible vehicles.

Cons

• Some buyers report mixed noise results, including occasional squeak, so additional bedding or anti-squeal measures may be needed.

Specifications
