TRQ Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Coated Rotor Kit Compatible with Vibe

In this review the TRQ Rear Ceramic Brake Pad & Coated Rotor Kit is judged on fit, braking feel, and long-term durability for vehicles like the Corolla, Matrix, Vibe and Prius with rear disc brakes. The bottom line: this kit is aimed at owners who want a direct OE replacement that installs easily and restores rear braking performance without breaking the bank. It includes a rear ceramic pad set with contact point grease and hardware plus two rear G-coated rotors, so it supplies everything needed for a rear brake job and delivers solid rust protection.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The kit is designed to match factory fit for compatible Corolla, Matrix, Vibe, Prius and CT200h models, which simplifies installation and avoids fitment headaches.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Ceramic compound offers quieter operation and stable braking performance under everyday driving conditions for improved pedal feel.
• G-Coated Rotors: The premium G-coating helps resist surface rust and keeps rotors looking better over time in climates that promote corrosion.
• Complete Rear Kit: Includes pads, contact point grease, hardware and two rotors so owners get a full rear axle service in one purchase.
• Vehicle Specific Fitment: The listing includes OE and aftermarket reference numbers so buyers can check compatibility with the exact rear disc brake configuration on their vehicle.

Who It's For

The TRQ rear kit is best for owners of 2009-18 Toyota Corolla models, 2009-13 Toyota Matrix and 2009-10 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L who want a straightforward, direct-fit replacement that restores rear stopping power and reduces rotor rust. It suits DIYers and independent shops that prefer a single SKU covering pads, hardware and rotors for a rear brake job.

Drivers who demand track-level fade resistance or ultra-aggressive pad compounds should look elsewhere; this kit is optimized for street driving, rust protection and value rather than race use. Also verify the vehicle-specific fitment information in the listing before buying to confirm rotor diameter and rear disc configuration.

Pros & Cons

• G-coated rotors show improved rust protection compared with uncoated rotors, extending visual life.

Cons

• Some users report mixed noise results, with occasional squeak on a minority of installs despite the ceramic compound and grease.
