TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2009 Audi A4 - Reliable

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2009 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro who need a straightforward brake refresh. The kit includes a rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear rotors and aims to restore braking performance without upgrades. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of ceramic pads and matched rotors that deliver quieter, cleaner stopping and extended service life compared with worn original parts.

Key Features

• Ceramic friction material: Ceramic pads produce less dust and maintain consistent stopping power for cleaner wheels and predictable braking.
• Premium Posi bonding: The positive molded bonding reduces pad separation risk and supports stable performance under repeated use.
• Matched rotor set: The kit includes two rear rotors cast from a G3000 alloy to reduce noise and resist wear for longer rotor life.
• Application specific design: Rotors and pads are made to fit the 288mm rear brake assembly on 2009 Audi A4 and A4 Quattro, simplifying installation when the fit is correct.
• Warranty coverage: A 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty covers product cost, giving buyers basic protection for manufacturing defects on the parts themselves.
• Enhanced noise control: Multi-layer shims and chamfered pads help limit vibration and brake squeal in normal driving.

Who It's For

The kit is best for DIYers and independent repair shops working on 2009 Audi A4 or A4 Quattro with 288mm rear rotors who want a direct-replacement ceramic pad and rotor combination that prioritizes low dust and quiet operation. It is also a good choice for drivers who value straightforward bolt-on replacement parts and a two-year parts warranty.

Drivers who need OE exact-match fit in every case should double-check the reference numbers and rotor diameter before buying, since some buyers reported mixed fitment results; likewise, those needing performance or track-oriented braking should look for performance-specific compounds instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good stopping performance paired with ceramic pads that create less wheel dust.
• Matched rotors in G3000 casting alloy reduce noise and improve wear resistance.
• Easy to install for experienced DIYers and provides solid value compared with buying pads or rotors separately.

Cons

• Some customers reported fitment variability, so verification of reference numbers and rotor diameter is recommended before installation.
