TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Parking Shoes - Complete Rear

In this review the TRQ Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit with Parking Shoes is evaluated for drivers who need a complete rear brake refresh for select 2010-2013 Hyundai and Kia models. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is that it bundles rear ceramic pads, parking shoes, two rotors and a brake cleaner & fluid kit together, giving most DIYers everything needed for a rear brake service in one purchase. The reviewer found the components to be direct-fit replacements in many cases and appreciated the inclusion of chemical supplies for a cleaner, more complete job.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, rear parking brake shoes, two rear rotors and a brake cleaner & fluid kit so no separate purchases are required for most rear brake jobs.
• Ceramic pads: Uses ceramic friction material which reduces dust compared with semi-metallic pads and helps keep wheels cleaner over time.
• Direct fit design: Components are intended as direct replacements for the original equipment, reducing the need for adjustments and simplifying installation.
• Durable rotors: Rotors are cast in a G3000 alloy formulation aimed at improved wear resistance and lower noise under normal driving conditions.
• Application specific: The kit targets rear fitment for 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe and 2011-2013 Kia Sorento, making compatibility straightforward when matched carefully.

Who It's For

This kit is best for independent DIYers and home mechanics who want a single package to service the rear brakes on compatible Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento models and prefer ceramic pads for lower dust. It is also useful for small shops doing routine rear brake replacements where having parking shoes and cleaner included saves a parts run.

Drivers who need front brake components, or who have non-compatible model years or variant brake systems, should look elsewhere. Also, buyers who require OE-brand exact-match sizing in every case may want to confirm fit carefully, since feedback on fit is mixed for some vehicles.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive kit that includes pads, rotors, parking shoes and chemicals for a full rear service.
• Ceramic pads produce less brake dust and maintain cleaner wheels over time.
• Pre-assembled, application-specific parts simplify installation and save time.
• Good value compared with buying each component separately.

Cons

• Some users report fit variances on certain vehicles, so confirming compatibility is essential before installation.
• Noise level and sizing were mixed in a few reports, which suggests checking measurements and tolerances if precise OE match is required.
