TRQ Rear Brake Pads Ceramic Compatible with 2010-2013 Kia Soul

In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pads Ceramic Compatible with select Hyundai and Kia models, the bottom line is practical: these pads are a direct OE replacement for owners who need a straightforward, ceramic option for rear braking. The reviewer found the set to deliver solid stopping power and consistent friction compound thickness across inner and outer pads, making them a sensible choice for routine service. Fitment is vehicle specific, so buyers should check compatibility carefully before purchase to avoid the mixed fit reports other customers have experienced.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The pads are designed as an OE replacement disc brake pad set so installation matches factory layout for compatible applications.
• Ceramic Compound: Ceramic friction material provides stable braking performance and tends to produce moderate dust compared with some metallic pads.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing calls out rear compatibility with Kia Soul, Hyundai Sonata, Kia Amanti and Hyundai Azera models, helping buyers confirm fit before ordering.
• Reference Numbers Included: OE reference 583023FA01 and aftermarket references like EHT1313H are provided to cross-check parts for accuracy.
• Matched Pad Dimensions: Inner and outer pads share the same thickness and width specifications, which supports even wear and predictable brake feel.
• Complete Kit: Pad quantity of four covers a full rear axle service so no extra purchases are required for a complete rear pad replacement.

Who It's For

This product is best for DIYers and independent shops replacing rear pads on compatible vehicles who want a ceramic, OE-style replacement that mirrors factory pad dimensions. Owners seeking a straightforward swap with predictable stopping performance will appreciate the clear thickness and width specs provided.

These pads are not ideal for owners of vehicles outside the listed fitment or anyone who prefers upgraded performance compounds for track use. Because a few customers reported fit issues and noise on some cars, buyers who need an exact factory match or who are sensitive to brake squeal should verify vehicle fitment and consider backing plate or shim differences before purchase.
