TRQ Rear Brake Rotors Set Solid G-Coated - Reliable OEM Replacement

In this review of the TRQ Rear Brake Rotors Set, the bottom line is simple: these rotors are best for DIYers and owners of specified Subaru models who want a direct-fit, corrosion-resistant rear rotor replacement that mirrors OEM fit and finish. The reviewer found the kit straightforward to install for anyone comfortable with basic brake work, and the main reason to buy is the G-coating that helps resist surface rust and keeps the rotors looking new longer than bare cast units.

Key Features

• Complete rear set: Includes one rear driver side and one rear passenger side premium G-coated rotor so both sides match and wear evenly.
• Direct fit compatibility: Designed as direct replacements for compatible Subaru Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza and XV models to reduce fuss during installation.
• Corrosion resistance: The premium G-coating helps minimize surface rust after installation, preserving rotor appearance and reducing prep time.
• DIY resources: Backed by a wide library of DIY videos and guidance to help owners confirm fitment and complete the job correctly.
• Pre-assembled readiness: Built as direct replacement components to save time and avoid modifications during installation.

Who It's For

The TRQ rear rotors are aimed at owners of 2014-2018 Subaru Forester 2.5i variants, 2016-2023 Crosstrek, 2012-2021 Impreza and 2013-2015 XV Crosstrek who want an affordable, OEM-style replacement without upgrading to slotted or drilled performance rotors. They suit independent mechanics and home mechanics who prefer parts that drop in without machine work.

Those who need performance-oriented rotors for track use or who prefer cross-drilled designs for aggressive cooling should look elsewhere. Also check exact year and trim compatibility closely before buying to ensure a correct fit.
