TRQ Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Coated Rotor & Caliper Kit - Complete Rear

In this review the TRQ Rear Ceramic Brake Pad Coated Rotor & Caliper Kit is evaluated for owners of compatible Chrysler and Ram 1500 trucks who need a full rear brake replacement that includes pads, rotors, calipers and fluids. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is its completeness: it ships as a direct fit OE replacement with rear ceramic pads, g-coated rotors, two calipers with brackets and essential fluids and cleaners, so it removes the guesswork and extra shopping trips when doing a full rear brake job.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The kit is intended as a direct fit for listed Ram and Dodge Ram models, so installation is straightforward when the vehicle is compatible.
• Complete Rear Kit: Includes rear ceramic brake pads, two rear g-coated rotors and two rear brake calipers with mounting brackets and hardware, making it a one-package solution for rear brake service.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: The ceramic compound is described as providing quiet operation and consistent stopping feel, which suits everyday driving and towing scenarios.
• Included Fluids and Cleaner: A 12 oz DOT 3 & 4 brake fluid and a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner are supplied, helping finish the job without additional purchase.
• Contact Point Grease & Hardware: The pad set includes contact point grease and hardware to aid in installation and reduce noise when correctly fitted.

Who It's For

This kit is best for DIY mechanics or professional shops working on compatible 2002-2018 Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 rear brake systems who want a single-package solution that replaces pads, rotors and calipers together. It is especially useful when rebuilding the rear axle braking system to ensure matched components and included fluids.

It is not ideal for owners of vehicles outside the listed fitment or for buyers who only need a single component such as just pads or a single rotor; fitment must be verified against the vehicle-specific listing information before purchase to avoid mismatch issues.
