Our review of the TRQ Rear Brake Caliper Set finds it best suited for DIY mechanics and independent shops who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific replacement. The bottom line: these calipers offer a direct fit OE replacement for a range of 2006-2013 Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury models, and they arrive as a complete 2 piece kit so you can replace both rear sides without sourcing extra hardware. For anyone who prioritizes fitment accuracy and value over brand-new dealer pricing, this set delivers a reliable, long-lasting solution.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The kit is vehicle specific and designed to replace the original rear driver and passenger calipers without modification for compatible models.
• Complete 2 Piece Kit: Includes one rear driver side and one rear passenger side caliper so both sides can be serviced at once, simplifying the repair job.
• Zinc Coated: Zinc coating provides long lasting rust prevention which helps maintain appearance and function in wet climates.
• EPDM Seals: Uses EPDM seals for improved resistance to thermal deterioration and brake fluid exposure, reducing the need for early seal replacement.
• No Core Charge: 100% new components mean there is no core return required, which saves time and avoids core charge hassles during installation.
• Hardware Included: The calipers ship with the necessary hardware and abutment kit to complete a standard rear caliper replacement job.

Who It's For

This TRQ rear caliper set is aimed at owners of 2006-2012 Ford Fusion, 2007-2012 Lincoln MKZ, 2006 Lincoln Zephyr, 2006-2013 Mazda 6 and 2006-2011 Mercury Milan who want a straightforward OE replacement without dealer prices. It is also a practical choice for DIY mechanics and independent repair shops that value parts that come with hardware and clear fitment references.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need front calipers or models outside the listed years, and vehicle owners seeking OE-branded parts for warranty-sensitive repairs; in those cases an OEM dealer part may be preferable.
