TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Semi-Metallic Compatible with 2010-2015

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a complete rear brake solution for owners of AWD Hyundai Tucson (2010-2015) and AWD Kia Sportage (2011-2016). The bottom line: this kit is aimed at DIYers who want an all-in-one replacement that restores braking performance without sourcing multiple parts separately. The kit's biggest selling point is convenience - it includes rear semi-metallic pads, two rotors, two calipers and two replacement hoses so the rear brake job can be completed with a single purchase and fewer compatibility surprises.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear semi-metallic brake pad set, two rotors, two calipers and two replacement brake hoses so installers get all rear components in one shipment.
• Semi-metallic pads: Positive molded pads deliver improved wear resistance and reduced dust compared with older untreated designs.
• Application specific design: Direct fit parts are intended to match original equipment dimensions to eliminate modification and reduce installation time.
• Noise and wear improvements: G3000 casting alloy rotors are designed to reduce noise and improve long-term wear behavior under normal driving conditions.
• Pre-assembled components: Calipers and hoses arrive ready to bolt on, which simplifies the DIY installation process for most competent home mechanics.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for an owner of a 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson AWD or a 2011-2016 Kia Sportage AWD who prefers a single comprehensive purchase rather than sourcing pads, rotors and calipers separately. It is also a good choice for a DIYer who values pre-assembled parts and wants to save time on fitment checks.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of non-AWD or model years outside the listed range, and drivers who require a specialty rotor or pad compound beyond semi-metallic options, such as full ceramic pads for reduced noise or track-oriented components.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive package reduces parts sourcing and ensures matched components for rear brake replacement.
• Semi-metallic pads and G3000 rotors offer a balance of stopping power and durability for everyday driving.
• Pre-assembled calipers and included hoses make the swap quicker and simpler for DIY installers.

Cons

• Fit reports are mixed among buyers, so confirm vehicle compatibility carefully before purchase.
• Semi-metallic material can attract slightly more dust and noise than some premium ceramic options for certain drivers.
