TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2009-2014 Subaru

Our review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit evaluates whether this direct-fit, OE replacement kit is a practical upgrade for Subaru owners. The bottom line: it is best for drivers who need a straightforward, vehicle-specific rear brake kit that replaces worn components with a complete set of ceramic pads, rotors and hardware. The kit's main appeal is its simple, direct-fit installation and inclusion of contact point grease and hardware, which saves time and ensures a proper install without hunting for extra parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as a vehicle-specific kit to match OE mounting points so replacement is straightforward and reduces installation guesswork.
• Complete Kit: Includes both rear ceramic brake pads and rear brake rotors plus hardware and contact point grease, providing everything needed for a single-axle refresh.
• Ceramic Pads: Ceramic compound offers quieter operation and less brake dust compared with many semi-metallic options, which keeps wheels cleaner.
• OE Reference Matching: Built to match OE reference numbers such as 26696AG000 and others, helping ensure compatibility with the specified Subaru models.
• Aftermarket Cross References: Listed with multiple aftermarket reference numbers for technicians and DIYers to confirm fitment before purchase.
• Fitment Notes: Clear fitment guidance for model years and trim levels helps buyers confirm this kit is compatible with their Outback, Forester, Impreza or Legacy.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for Subaru owners of compatible model years who want an OEM-style replacement for the rear brakes without sourcing separate rotors, pads and hardware. It particularly suits DIY mechanics and independent shops that prefer a matched pad and rotor set to avoid mixed wear characteristics.

It is not the best choice for performance-focused drivers seeking high-temperature track stopping power or for those who require rust-resistant coatings on rotors as some users note mixed results on long-term corrosion resistance. Buyers who need front and rear service should look for a full-vehicle kit or purchase a matching front kit separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good OEM fit and straightforward installation for listed Subaru models.
• Ceramic pads reduce noise and brake dust compared with many alternatives.
• Complete kit includes pads, rotors, hardware and contact point grease for a convenient single purchase.

Cons
