TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2004-05 Chevy/GMC

In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit, the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at owners of 2004-05 Chevrolet and GMC 2500 HD trucks who want a complete rear service solution that combines quieter ceramic pads with replacement rotors and parking shoes. The kit includes rear ceramic brake pads, rear parking brake shoes, two rear rotors sized to the factory 330mm diameter with a 123mm center hole, and a brake cleaner and fluid kit, making it a practical one-stop option for a rear brake overhaul.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic pads, parking shoes, two rotors and a brake cleaner and fluid kit so technicians or DIYers have all core parts for a rear service.
• Ceramic friction: The premium ceramic pad material delivers cleaner wheels and reduced dust compared with semi-metallic pads.
• Fit for 2500 HD: Designed for 2004-05 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 HD rears with 4 wheel steering, matching the 330mm rotor diameter and 123mm center hole.
• Premium bonding: Pads use a Premium Posi bonding process intended to improve durability and reduce noise during use.
• Brake chemical spec: The kit is compatible with DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluid systems, which covers typical service needs for these trucks.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2004-05 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD or GMC Sierra 2500 HD who need a full rear brake refresh, including parking shoes, and prefer the lower dust and quieter operation of ceramic brake pads. It suits competent DIY mechanics and independent shops that want parts matched to the factory rotor diameter and center hole specification.

It is not the right choice for models outside the listed fitment or trucks that require a different rotor diameter, center bore, or height specification. Buyers who need OE-branded warranty coverage for labor or additional repairs should plan accordingly since the warranty covers parts only.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Includes all major rear components so fewer separate purchases are needed.
• Ceramic pads produce less dust and typically cleaner wheels than semi-metallic alternatives.
• Premium bonding and construction aim to reduce noise and improve pad life.
• Backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty on the products themselves for added peace of mind.

Cons

• Several customers reported mixed fit results, so verifying exact rotor bore and height before installation is advisable.
• Warranty excludes labor and consequential damages, so installation costs are not covered.
