TRQ Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Direct Fit

Our review of the TRQ Front & Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Performance Rotor Kit finds it best suited to owners of compatible Ford and Mercury sedans who want an OE replacement feel with upgraded rotors. The single biggest reason to buy is the convenience of a complete Direct Fit kit that includes both front and rear ceramic pads, contact point grease, hardware, and premium G-coated performance rotors so a full axle-to-axle job can be completed without hunting for extra parts. Fitment must be checked for specific model years before purchase.

Key Features

• Complete Kit: Includes front and rear ceramic brake pad sets with contact point grease and necessary hardware for a more straightforward installation.
• Performance Rotors: Front and rear premium G-coated rotors resist corrosion and offer improved surface consistency over factory rotors.
• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement disc brake kit to match factory mounting points for easier installation and alignment.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Made for several Ford and Mercury models from mid-2000s to 2009, reducing the risk of buying the wrong parts when fitment is confirmed.
• OE Reference Compatibility: Cross-referenced to common OE and aftermarket numbers to help verify correct part matching.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for DIY mechanics and independent shops performing a full brake refresh on 2005-2009 Ford Five Hundred, Freestyle, Taurus, Taurus X, and Mercury Montego models where the listing confirms compatibility. It suits drivers who want ceramic pads for quieter operation and cleaner wheels, paired with G-coated rotors to limit surface rust between services.

It is less appropriate for drivers who require factory original parts from a dealer or those with vehicles outside the specific model years listed; always check vehicle fitment in the listing. Also consider specialty high-performance or heavy-duty brake packages if extreme track or towing use is expected.

Cons
