TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2002 Models - Complete

In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is simple: it is a complete rear service kit for owners of several 2002 GM full-size trucks and SUVs who want an all-in-one replacement that includes calipers, pads, rotors and a cleaner and fluid kit. The reviewer found the biggest reason to buy is the convenience of receiving both rotors and calipers with semi-metallic pads already bonded, which simplifies installation and restores solid braking performance. This kit is especially useful for DIY mechanics tackling a rear axle brake overhaul.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear calipers, rear brake rotors and a semi-metallic brake pad set so users get all rear components in a single purchase.
• Semi-metallic pads: The Premium Posi bonding and semi-metallic friction material deliver strong stopping power and durability under mixed driving conditions.
• Brake cleaner and fluid: A supplied cleaner and fluid kit helps ensure clean surfaces and proper fluid handling during installation for better long-term performance.
• Wide reference coverage: Multiple reference numbers indicate broad compatibility across GM part numbering, aiding fitment checks and cross-references.
• Limited warranty: Backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile limited warranty on parts, providing purchase protection for product defects.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Avalanche 1500, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL 1500 rear wheel drive vehicles who need a full rear brake refresh and prefer the convenience of matched rotors, calipers and pads. DIYers with moderate mechanical skill who can bleed brakes and torque caliper bolts will appreciate receiving the necessary hardware and a cleaner and fluid kit.

It is less suitable for owners who require OE-branded OEM parts for exact factory matching or those who have vehicles with modified or nonstandard rear brake assemblies; a small number of buyers reported fitment differences so careful fit verification is recommended before installation.
