In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for drivers seeking a direct fit, OEM-style rear disc replacement for select Audi A3 and Volkswagen Jetta and Golf models. The single biggest reason to buy is the complete, vehicle-specific kit that includes rear ceramic brake pads, contact point grease and hardware plus two G-coated solid rotors so a full rear brake job can be completed with matched components and improved rust protection.

Key Features

  • Direct Fit: The kit is made as an OE replacement so the pads and rotors mount without modification on compatible rear hubs for a straightforward installation.
  • Complete Kit: It includes a rear ceramic pad set, contact point grease, mounting hardware and two rear G-coated rotors to finish a full rear brake service in one purchase.
  • Ceramic Pads: The ceramic formulation aims to deliver quieter operation and consistent stopping feel while reducing dust compared with semi-metallic pads.
  • G-Coated Rotors: The factory-style G-coating helps resist surface rust and keeps the rotors looking better longer in wet or salty conditions.
  • Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment references and OE numbers are provided so buyers can confirm compatibility for Audi A3 and multiple VW Jetta, Golf and Rabbit model years before ordering.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2008-2010 Audi A3/A3 Quattro and compatible VW models who want a matched pad-and-rotor replacement that fits like OEM parts and includes the small items needed for installation. It suits DIYers and independent shops that value a single SKU to complete a rear brake job without sourcing individual components.

Drivers with high-performance braking demands or those who require vented or slotted rotors should look elsewhere, as this kit contains solid rear rotors and a ceramic pad compound intended for everyday driving rather than track use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Complete rear brake kit includes pads, hardware and two G-coated rotors for a full replacement job.
  • Good rust protection from the G-coating keeps rotors looking cleaner in corrosive climates.
  • Ceramic pads offer strong braking performance, low dust and an OEM-like feel when properly bedded.

Cons

  • Some buyers report mixed noise results, with occasional squeak depending on vehicle and bedding procedure.
  • Solid rear rotors are not intended for high-heat, heavy-duty performance applications.
