TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Compatible with Infiniti I35/Nissan

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is judged on fit, braking performance and value for money for owners of select Infiniti and Nissan Maxima models. The bottom line: this is a practical, direct-fit OE replacement kit aimed at someone who wants a ready-made rear brake solution with ceramic pads and vehicle-specific rotors installed without modification. It stands out for straightforward fitment and comprehensive hardware, making it a sensible choice for DIY installers and independent shops who prioritize replacement accuracy and improved pad dust control.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so the kit installs without modification on compatible Infiniti I35, I30 and Nissan Maxima models, saving time in the shop or garage.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The rear ceramic friction material reduces dust compared with semi-metallic options while providing consistent braking performance under normal driving conditions.
• Complete Kit: Includes a rear ceramic brake pad set with contact point grease and hardware plus two rear brake rotors to replace both sides in one service event.
• Vehicle Specific: OE and aftermarket reference numbers are provided so buyers can confirm compatibility before purchasing, reducing the risk of wrong fitment.
• Quality Casting: Rotors use a G3000 casting alloy and a positive molded construction that helps reduce noise and improve wear resistance over low-cost blanks.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of 2001 Infiniti I30 (from 10/03/00), 2002-2004 Infiniti I35, and 2001-2003 Nissan Maxima who want a single, matched rear brake solution that includes pads, rotors and necessary hardware. It suits DIY mechanics comfortable with a rear brake job and independent shops that value a ready-to-install kit.

Shoppers who need front brake parts, high-performance track pads, or heavy-duty commercial rotors should look elsewhere; this kit is aimed at normal street use and restoration of factory-like braking rather than extreme performance or commercial duty.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Direct-fit OE replacement reduces installation time and fitment issues.
• Ceramic pads cut down wheel dust while delivering confident everyday stopping.
• Complete kit includes grease and hardware, so one purchase covers the full rear job.
• Rotors use a casting alloy and design focused on lower noise and longer life.

Cons

• Some customers reported mixed opinions on rust resistance for rotors in harsh climates, so surface finish may vary.
• Not intended for track or heavy towing use where performance pads and slotted/drilled rotors are preferred.
