TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Direct Fit Rear Disc Brake Kit

Our review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit finds it best suited for Nissan owners who need a straightforward, OE-style replacement without shopping dealership parts. The kit's single biggest draw is the complete, vehicle-specific package: rear semi-metallic pads, two rotors, and hardware all matched to common Nissan rear applications. Installers who want a direct fit replacement and improved brake feel compared with worn originals will appreciate this kit's mix of parts and clear OE cross-reference information.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The kit is designed as an OE replacement, simplifying installation and reducing the need for modifications.
• Complete Rear Kit: Includes a rear semi-metallic brake pad set, contact point grease, hardware, and two rear rotors for a full axle service.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: Fitment covers a wide range of Nissan Altima, Sentra, Maxima and Juke years when equipped with rear disc brakes, helping buyers choose a matched kit.
• Semi-Metallic Pads: The premium Posi bonding and semi-metallic friction material deliver improved wear resistance and consistent stopping performance.
• Reduced Dust and Noise: Positive molded pads and G3000 casting alloy rotors are intended to reduce wheel dust and lower noise compared with lower-grade replacements.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on Nissan Altima (2002-22 variations), Sentra (2007-19 with rear disc brakes), Maxima (2004-08), and several Juke models where a matched rear pad-and-rotor set is desired. It suits owners who prioritize a complete, matched rear axle service and prefer semi-metallic pads for balanced performance.

Those who should look elsewhere include drivers who need front brake components only, owners of Nissan models outside the listed fitment, or buyers who insist on ceramic pads for lower dust; always check the listing's vehicle-specific fitment before purchase to avoid compatibility issues some customers reported.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Complete kit provides pads, rotors, grease, and hardware so the rear axle can be serviced in one job.
• Semi-metallic pads with premium Posi bonding offer good durability and consistent stopping feel.
• OE reference numbers and aftermarket cross-references make it easier to confirm fitment for many Nissan models.

Cons

• Fitment is mixed in customer reports, so careful vehicle-specific checking is required before purchase.
