TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Semi-Metallic G-Coated - Q70 Fit

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated for owners of the 2018 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid with 20 in wheels and single piston rear calipers. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at DIYers who want a complete rear brake rebuild in one purchase, because it supplies brake pads, calipers, rotors, and hoses that are designed as direct-fit replacements and include a premium G-coating for corrosion resistance. The review focuses on fit, installation effort, stopping performance, and the common fitment caveat mentioned by some buyers.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear semi-metallic brake pads, two rear calipers, two premium G-coated rotors and two replacement brake hoses, so most rear braking components are replaced in a single job.
• Semi-metallic pads: The friction material delivers robust stopping power and is built to balance wear resistance with reasonable dust levels for cleaner wheels.
• Premium G-coated rotors: Electrostatic G-coating provides long-lasting rust protection to extend rotor life and maintain appearance.
• Pre-assembled components: Direct-fit design reduces installation time and eliminates modification, making the kit suitable for practical DIY brake service.
• Application specific design: Rotors and castings are tuned for reduced noise and improved wear resistance for a quieter, longer-lasting rear braking setup.

Who It's For

This kit is best for 2018 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid owners with 20 in wheels who want a single purchase to overhaul the rear brakes, including anyone comfortable performing caliper and hose replacement or following a video guide. It also suits DIYers who prefer parts with corrosion protection and an emphasis on direct-fit installation to save time.

It is not the right choice for vehicles with the sport package or multi-piston rear calipers, or for shoppers who need guaranteed perfect fit without verifying the full compatibility chart; some users reported mixed fit experiences so confirm fitment before ordering.
