TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 1998-2002 Honda Accord - Direct Fit

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of 1998-2002 Honda Accord L4 2.3L who need a direct replacement rear brake solution. The kit's single biggest reason to consider it is that it bundles rear ceramic pads, rotors, and wheel hub bearing assemblies in a vehicle specific OE replacement set, which aims to restore braking performance without chasing separate parts. The reviewer found the kit to deliver solid stopping power, straightforward fit for many cars, and good value compared with buying each component separately.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pad set, two rear rotors, and two rear wheel bearing & hub assemblies so users receive everything needed for a rear brake service in one purchase.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed to match factory mounting points and OE reference numbers for a straightforward installation on compatible 1998-02 Accord rear assemblies.
• Ceramic friction material: Positive molded ceramic pads reduce dust and aim to keep wheels cleaner while providing predictable pedal feel.
• Durable rotors: TRQ rotors use a G3000 casting alloy and a non-directional finish to reduce noise and extend wear resistance under normal driving conditions.
• Wheel bearing assemblies included: Supplied wheel hub bearings remove the need to reuse old bearings, simplifying the job and addressing potential bearing wear at the same service interval.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY mechanics and independent shops working on 1998-2002 Honda Accord L4 2.3L models with four-wheel disc brakes who want a one-purchase solution for rear pads, rotors, and hub bearings.
