TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Premium G-Coated Semi-Metallic

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for drivers of the 2005 Toyota Avalon who want a complete rear-end brake refresh with direct-fit parts. The kit stands out because it bundles semi-metallic pads, pre-assembled rear calipers, and premium G-coated rotors so the buyer gets pads and rotors matched for performance and corrosion resistance in one package. This review focuses on fit, braking performance, corrosion protection, and ease of installation to help a DIYer decide if this all-in-one kit is the practical choice for restoring rear braking on an Avalon.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes a rear semi-metallic brake pad set, two rear brake calipers, and two premium G-coated rotors so buyers replace the major rear components at once for consistent performance.
• Premium G-coated rotors: Electrostatic G-coating provides long-lasting rust protection to keep rotor surfaces cleaner and reduce visible corrosion on the hat and faces.
• Semi-metallic pads: Positive molded semi-metallic friction offers good stopping power and reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels during everyday driving.
• Application specific design: Rotors and pads are designed as direct replacements for the intended vehicle to avoid modifications and speed up installation.
• Pre-assembled calipers: Rear calipers arrive ready for installation, saving time and reducing the chance of assembly errors during a DIY replacement.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of a 2005 Toyota Avalon who want a single purchase that replaces pads, calipers, and rotors on the rear axle for a like-new feel without mixing components from different sources. It is a practical choice for DIYers who value clear compatibility and time savings from pre-assembled calipers.

It is less appropriate for someone who only needs a rotor or pad and wants the lowest possible cost for that single item, or for vehicles outside the stated compatibility. Buyers concerned about exact fit should confirm fitment with their vehicle reference chart before purchase, as user reports on fit are mixed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• All-in-one kit simplifies rear brake replacement and ensures matched components.
• G-coated rotors resist rust for better long-term appearance and reduced corrosion.

• Pre-assembled calipers reduce installation time and complexity for DIY installs.

Cons

• Some buyers reported mixed fit results, so confirming compatibility for your specific vehicle is important.
• Noise level and parking shoe interaction were mixed among users, so a break-in period may be needed to settle noise characteristics.

Specifications
