TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with 2017 Acura TLX - Solid

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a direct replacement kit for the 2017 Acura TLX rear brakes. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at DIY owners and independent shops who want a reliable, like-new brake feel without complicated modifications. The main reason to buy is fit and convenience - TRQ supplies a rear ceramic pad set plus two rear rotors designed to match OEM dimensions and reduce installation time for a precise direct fit.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes a rear ceramic brake pad set and two rear rotors so you can replace pads and rotors together for balanced braking performance.
• Ceramic friction: The ceramic brake pads are formulated to reduce dust and provide consistent pedal feel under normal driving conditions.
• Direct fit design: Components are made as application specific replacements to eliminate modifications and speed up installation.
• Durable rotors: Rotors use a G3000 casting alloy to improve wear resistance and help reduce noise over their service life.
• Prepped pads: Pads are positive molded, thermal scorched, chamfered and feature a multi-layer shim to minimize noise and improve break-in behavior.

Who It's For

The kit is best for 2017 Acura TLX owners who prefer to do the rear brake service themselves or for independent mechanics looking for a straightforward, direct-fit replacement. It appeals to buyers wanting quieter ceramic pads and rotors that match OEM diameter and lug count so wheel fitment remains unchanged.

Those who need specialty rotors (vented or performance slotted/drilled) or who drive in harsh, highly corrosive environments expecting superior rust resistance should consider alternative premium rotor finishes or coatings instead of the standard solid rotor option provided here.
