TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2013-2018 Lexus ES300h

Our review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit finds it best suited for owners who need a straightforward OE replacement that restores rear braking performance without fuss. The kit includes a rear ceramic brake pad set, contact point grease and hardware, plus two rear brake rotors sized at 11.02 in, making it a complete direct-fit solution for specified Toyota and Lexus models. For drivers seeking quieter, lower-dust ceramic pads and rotors that match OE dimensions, this kit delivers reliable stopping power and easy installation at a reasonable value.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed to match OE dimensions so installation is usually straightforward with no modifications required.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Positive molded ceramic material reduces dust and tends to run quieter than semi-metallic alternatives for cleaner wheels.
• Complete Kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pad set, contact point grease and hardware plus two rear rotors so both sides are covered in one purchase.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Listed compatibility for Toyota Camry, Avalon and Lexus ES models helps ensure you select the correct rear kit for your vehicle.
• Durable Rotor Casting: G3000 casting alloy and application specific design aim to improve wear resistance and extend service life.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for owners of compatible 2012-17 Toyota Camry, 2013-18 Lexus ES350, 2013-18 Toyota Avalon and 2013-18 Lexus ES300h who want an OE-style replacement without upgrading to performance rotors or race pads. Mechanics and competent DIYers will appreciate the included hardware and grease that simplify a rear brake job.

It is less suitable for drivers seeking high-performance track-focused braking or those who need corrosion-resistant coated rotors for coastal environments; some buyers have mixed impressions about rust resistance, so drivers in very salty climates may prefer a coated rotor option.
