TRQ Rear Disc Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotors Kit - Direct Fit Replacement

In this review the TRQ Rear Disc Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotors Kit is examined for owners of late 1990s to early 2000s Chevrolet, GMC, Olds Bravada and related models who need a direct OE replacement. The bottom line: this kit is best for drivers who want a complete rear axle service solution in one purchase, since it includes two rear rotors, a rear ceramic pad set with contact point grease and hardware, plus rear parking brake shoes. It aims to simplify installation and restore stopping power without sourcing multiple parts separately.

Key Features

• Complete rear kit: Includes two rear brake rotors, a rear ceramic pad set and a rear parking brake shoe set so a full rear service can be completed with one purchase.
• Direct fit OE replacement: Designed as a direct fit for specified Chevrolet, GMC, Olds and Isuzu models to save on installation time and reduce fitment surprises when the vehicle is compatible.
• Ceramic pad compound: Uses ceramic friction material aimed at delivering quieter operation and consistent brake feel compared with some metallic pads.
• Hardware and grease included: Ships with contact point grease and necessary hardware so the pads and components are ready for assembly without extra parts.
• Vehicle specific fitment: The listing includes fitment checks for compatibility, reducing the risk of ordering the wrong rear kit for 4 wheel drive models with parking shoes.

Who It's For

This kit is for owners of 1997-2005 Blazer/Jimmy, 1998-04 S10/S-15 Sonoma, 1998-01 Olds Bravada and compatible Isuzu Hombre or GMC models who need a rear brake overhaul and prefer the convenience of matched rotors, pads and parking shoes. It suits DIY mechanics and professional installers who value having the correct rear parking shoe parts included for 4 wheel drive rears.

It is not ideal for vehicles outside the listed fitment years or for those who require high-performance or race-oriented brake components. Buyers with vehicles that have reported fit differences should check fitment closely before purchase and be prepared to address an occasional outboard pad fitment variation.
