TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2012-2015 Mercedes-Benz

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of select Mercedes-Benz C250 and C300 models who want a direct-fit, budget-friendly brake refresh. The kit's biggest appeal is that it combines a rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear rotors in one package, promising reduced dust and quieter braking without wheel modifications; installers who value clear fitment guidance and DIY video support will find this kit particularly useful.

Key Features

• Complete rear kit: Includes one rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear rotors so both pads and rotors can be replaced at the same time for consistent wear and performance.
• Ceramic pad material: Ceramic friction material produces less dust and tends to be quieter under normal driving conditions compared with semi-metallic pads.
• Application specific design: Direct-fit components are designed to match original mounting points and eliminate need for modifications, saving installation time.
• G3000 casting alloy rotors: Rotors cast from the specified alloy aim to reduce noise and improve wear resistance for longer life.
• Extensive reference list: The kit lists many OEM and aftermarket reference numbers to help confirm compatibility with specific vehicle builds.
• DIY video support: The brand provides how-to videos to help owners "view before they do" and complete the job with more confidence.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Mercedes-Benz owners with 2008-2012 C300 or 2012-2015 C250 models looking for a matched set of rear pads and rotors that are designed for direct replacement and lower dust operation. It suits DIYers who prefer following video guidance and want a single purchase to address both pads and rotors.

Drivers needing high-performance track pads or those with heavily modified braking systems should look elsewhere, as the kit focuses on street-oriented ceramic pads and OE-style rotors rather than race compounds or slotted/drilled performance rotors.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value by including both rear pads and rotors together for a coordinated replacement.
• Ceramic pads produce less brake dust which helps keep wheels cleaner over time.

Cons

• Fit reports are mixed among customers, so buyers must verify exact model fitment carefully before ordering.
• Some drivers report mixed noise level impressions, so quietness may vary with vehicle and installation.
