TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2016-18 Santa

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 2016-2018 Kia Sorento and 2017-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport. The bottom line: this is a complete, direct-fit rear disc kit that replaces both pads and rotors with a focus on low dust and corrosion resistance, making it a strong option for shoppers who want a straightforward OE replacement. The kit includes ceramic rear pads, G-coated rotors and necessary hardware so a full rear brake job can be completed without sourcing additional parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement kit so parts align with factory mounting points and simplify installation for DIYers and shops.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The ceramic friction material reduces dust and delivers smooth brake feel while maintaining consistent performance.
• G-Coated Rotors: Premium electrostatic G-coating helps prevent rust and keeps rotors looking cleaner over time in wet or salty conditions.
• Complete Kit: Includes rear pad set, contact point grease, hardware and two rear rotors so installers have everything needed for a rear brake service.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment notes and OE reference numbers are provided to help verify compatibility with 2016-2018 Kia Sorento and 2017-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe models.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2016-2018 Kia Sorento or 2017-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe and Santa Fe Sport who want a complete rear brake replacement that closely matches OE fit and function. It suits DIY mechanics who prefer a single purchase to replace pads and rotors together, and repair shops that value a ready-to-install kit with hardware included.

It is less appropriate for owners who need slotted or drilled performance rotors, or those running custom brake setups. If noise sensitivity is critical, buyers should be aware that a small number of users report mixed results on squeak and may consider additional anti-squeal measures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit design and included hardware make installation straightforward for a rear brake job.

• G-coated rotors offer strong rust protection that customers note keeps rotors looking better over time.
