In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2002-04 Jaguar X-Type the bottom line is simple: this is a practical, cost-conscious replacement kit for owners who want like-new stopping performance without factory prices. The kit includes a rear semi-metallic brake pad set with contact point grease and a pair of rear rotors, and it bests many options by delivering easy installation and reliable performance for routine driving. It is intended for owners who need a direct fit OE replacement rather than a custom or high-performance upgrade.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: Designed to match the original mounting points so installation is straightforward for owners and mechanics familiar with the X-Type.
• Semi-Metallic Brake Pads: The positive molded pads offer reduced dust and strong friction for consistent stopping under normal driving conditions.
• Complete Rear Kit: Includes both rear rotors and a pad set with contact point grease so the job can be completed without sourcing additional parts.
• G3000 Casting Alloy Rotors: Rotors use a casting alloy aimed at reduced noise and improved wear resistance versus basic castings.
• Application Specific Design: Vehicle-specific parts and fitment guidance are provided to help confirm compatibility with 2002-2004 Jaguar X-Type rear brakes.
• Value-Oriented Replacement: Aftermarket reference numbers are supplied for cross-checking and parts lookup, simplifying maintenance budgeting.

Who It's For

The TRQ rear brake kit is best for Jaguar X-Type owners who need an affordable, OEM-style replacement that restores stopping power and reduces wheel dust. It fits DIY mechanics, independent shops, and drivers who want a straightforward swap of both pads and rotors to bring the rear brakes back to serviceable condition.

It is not aimed at track-focused drivers or those seeking premium ceramic pads or slotted/drilled performance rotors. Buyers who need absolute silence, custom rotor venting, or a certified original equipment part should compare other options or verify fitment against their vehicle's build details before purchase.
