TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for 2013-18 Lincoln MKT - Complete Rear

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a complete rear brake service option for owners of 2013-18 Lincoln MKT models with 345mm rear rotors and painted calipers. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at DIYers and independent shops that want a matched set including rotors, ceramic pads, parking shoes and a small brake chemical kit, and it delivers noticeable stopping power and clean wheels thanks to the positive molded ceramic pads. Fitment is generally good but buyers should confirm rotor diameter and caliper style before purchase.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, rear parking brake shoes, two rear rotors and a brake cleaner & fluid kit so a full rear service can be completed in one purchase.
• Ceramic friction material: Uses ceramic brake pad material to reduce dust and provide consistent pedal feel under normal driving conditions.
• Positive molded pads: Positive molding and thermal scorching reduce initial noise and bedding issues for a more predictable break-in.
• G3000 casting alloy rotors: Rotors cast from a G3000 alloy to resist wear and help keep noise and vibration to a minimum over time.
• Application specific design: Designed to match the 345mm vented rear rotors and painted caliper configuration on compatible MKT models, reducing the need for modifications.

Who It's For

The kit is best for Lincoln MKT owners who want to replace the entire rear brake assembly components at once and prefer ceramic pads for cleaner wheels and a quieter daily drive. It suits competent DIY mechanics and independent shops that appreciate having matched pads, rotors and parking shoes in a single box to save time.

It is not ideal for owners who are unsure about their rotor diameter, have non-painted calipers, or expect OE exact fit every time; some customers reported mixed fit feedback so verifying reference numbers and rotor size is prudent before ordering.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good stopping performance and consistent pedal feel from the ceramic friction material.
• Comes as a full rear service kit, which saves time sourcing separate parts.
• Positive molded pads and multi-layer shims help limit dust and reduce noise with normal use.

Cons

• Fitment is mixed for a few buyers, so confirming rotor diameter and part references before installation is important.
