It is best for DIYers and independent shops who want a complete, vehicle-specific kit that includes pads, two rotors and hardware for a single rear axle.

Key Features

• Complete Kit: Includes (1) rear ceramic brake pad set, (2) rear premium G-coated rotors and hardware so a rear brake job can be completed without sourcing additional parts.
• Direct Fit OE Replacement: Designed to match OE fitment with listed reference numbers so installation aligns with factory mounting and brake geometry.
• Ceramic Friction Material: Ceramic pads offer quieter operation and reduced dust for cleaner wheels during regular driving.
• Premium G-Coated Rotors: Electrostatic G-coating provides enhanced rust protection so the rotors resist corrosion after exposure to road salt and moisture.
• Vented Rotors: Vented 12.28 in rotors help dissipate heat under repeated stops, preserving pad life and consistent braking feel.

This kit is aimed at owners of compatible Toyota and Lexus trucks and SUVs who want a straightforward, vehicle-specific rear brake replacement that includes everything needed for a rear axle. It is also a good match for independent mechanics and home mechanics who prefer parts that arrive matched for fit and finish.
