TRQ Rear Brake Pads Ceramic Compatible with 2016 Honda CR-Z

In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Pads Ceramic set, the bottom line is simple: these pads are aimed at owners of 2016 Honda CR-Z and 2016-2022 HR-V models who want a quiet, OE-style replacement at a sensible price. The review finds the ceramic compound delivers lower noise and confident stopping power for everyday driving, while the direct-fit design makes installation straightforward for DIYers and mechanics. Fitment reports are mixed, so buyers should verify vehicle compatibility before ordering and keep the OE reference numbers on hand.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement pad set that installs without modification for compatible rear brake assemblies.
• Ceramic Friction: The ceramic composition reduces brake dust and tends to run quieter than many semi-metallic pads for daily driving.
• Vehicle Specific: Listing includes vehicle-specific fitment guidance and OE reference numbers to help confirm correct application.
• Complete Set: Packaged as a pad quantity of 4 so both rear wheels are serviced in one purchase for routine maintenance.
• Durable Construction: 0.39 in friction thickness and 0.63 in overall pad thickness provide a substantial contact surface for heat dissipation and wear life.

Who It's For

The TRQ ceramic rear pads suit Honda CR-Z (2016) and HR-V (2016-22) owners who prioritize low noise and clean operation over aggressive track performance. They are a good match for drivers who want an OE-style replacement that balances stopping power with reduced dust and cabin noise.

These pads are less appropriate for drivers who demand heavy-duty, high-temperature performance such as frequent track use or towing, or for anyone who cannot confirm exact fitment; some buyers reported fit variability, so confirm the OE reference numbers 43022T2JH00 and 43022T7JH01 against your vehicle before purchase.
