TRQ Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Set Compatible with 1995-1999 Toyota

Our review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad and Rotor Set finds it best for owners of 1995-1999 Toyota Avalon who want a direct-fit replacement without surprises. The kit includes a rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear solid rotors sized to match the factory 11.46 in diameter, and it is designed as a straightforward swap for the original parts. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of pre-assembled, application-specific components and positive molded ceramic pads that cut dust and improve day-to-day braking feel compared with many economy replacements.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes one rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear brake rotors so you get both friction and rotors in one purchase for the rear axle.
• Direct-fit design: Pre-assembled components are made as direct replacements, reducing installation time and avoiding modifications to the vehicle.
• Ceramic friction: Positive molded ceramic pads produce less brake dust and a quieter operation than some older organic formulations.
• Solid rotor construction: The rear rotors are solid venting type that match the original equipment for this application and provide consistent stopping performance.
• Durable casting alloy: G3000 casting alloy on the rotors aims to reduce noise and improve wear resistance under normal driving conditions.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at Toyota Avalon owners from model years 1995 through 1999 who need a rear brake refresh and prefer ceramic pads for cleaner wheels and quieter operation. It is a good fit for DIYers and independent shops that value direct-fit parts and want a full rear axle solution without hunting for matching components.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who require slotted or drilled performance rotors, or vehicles with nonstandard brake hardware or modified suspension where a custom rotor would be needed. If superior rust resistance is a top priority in coastal or salted-road environments, compare surface treatments carefully before purchasing.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good OEM-style fit that many customers report as easy to install and spot-on for the Avalon.
• Ceramic pads are positive molded to reduce dust and improve day-to-day braking feel.
• Rotors use a G3000 casting alloy that aims to reduce noise and extend service life.
• Sold as a complete rear kit so pads and rotors are matched for compatibility.

Cons

• Rotors are solid rather than slotted or drilled, so they are not targeted at performance braking or aggressive driving applications.
• Customer feedback on rust resistance is mixed, so appearance over time may vary by environment.
