TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Ceramic Compatible with 2010-2015

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2010-2015 Toyota Prius who want a complete rear brake refresh in a single purchase. The kit's biggest selling point is that it includes rear ceramic pads, two calipers, and two rotors, which makes it a convenient option for DIY mechanics who prefer a direct fit replacement and fewer part searches. The reviewer found the kit best for those who value cleanliness, reduced noise, and clear installation guidance from TRQ's DIY video resources.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pad set, two rear calipers, and two rear rotors so replacement is done in one job without sourcing separate parts.
• Ceramic friction material: The ceramic pads produce less dust for cleaner wheels and tend to maintain consistent braking feel.
• Pre-assembled calipers: Pre-assembled components are designed as direct replacements to save time and avoid modifications during installation.
• Non-directional rotor finish: Rotors are finished to reduce the initial break-in period and help limit vibrations under normal operation.
• Durability-focused casting: G3000 casting alloy is used on rotors to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for longer service life.
• DIY support: TRQ provides video resources to help guide the installation for those who prefer visual instructions.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for Prius owners from model years 2010 through 2015 who want a full rear brake replacement with matched pads, calipers, and rotors for convenience and consistent performance. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that value time saved by using pre-assembled direct-fit components and want ceramic pads to limit wheel dust.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need specific OEM part numbers replaced exactly as originally purchased or shoppers who have reported fitment concerns and want to confirm compatibility using their vehicle fitment resources before ordering. If you need front brake parts or specialty racing components, this rear kit is not intended for that use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Fitment reports are mixed for some users, so confirming compatibility for the specific vehicle is advised before purchase.
• Some customers noted noise or size concerns in isolated cases, so expect the occasional adjustment or inspection after installation.
