TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2009-2017 Audi A4 A5 Q5

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for Audi owners who need a complete rear brake refresh. The bottom line: it is a practical, OE replacement-style kit that includes both ceramic pads and G-coated rotors so the rear brakes can be restored to near-original performance without hunting for separate parts. The kit is aimed at drivers of compatible 2009-2017 Audi A4, A4 Quattro, A5, A5 Quattro, allroad, Q5 and S5 models who want a direct fit solution and improved rust protection.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement disc brake kit so installation matches factory fitment and reduces time on the lift.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The rear ceramic pads provide quieter operation and consistent stopping power under normal driving conditions.
• G-Coated Rotors: Rotors arrive with a protective coating to slow surface rust and keep the rear hubs looking and functioning better over time.
• Complete Kit: Includes a rear ceramic pad set, contact point grease, hardware and two rear rotors so the job is done without sourcing extra parts.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided to confirm compatibility with listed Audi models before purchase.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Audi owners who need a straightforward rear brake replacement and want parts that fit like OEM without the OEM price. It suits DIY mechanics and independent shops replacing rear pads and rotors at the same time for 2009-2017 A4, A5, Q5 and related models.

It is less suitable for drivers seeking high-performance track compounds or heavy-duty commercial use; the ceramic pads are tuned for daily driving and corrosion resistance rather than extreme temperature endurance.
