TRQ Rear Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit - Ceramic G-Coated

In this review the TRQ Rear Performance Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for late-model Dodge Ram trucks. The kit's single biggest reason to buy is that it combines both rear ceramic brake pads and slotted x drilled premium G-coated rotors with a small chemical kit, offering a near-complete rear brake service in one box for owners who want improved stopping feel and corrosion resistance without sourcing separate parts.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement disc brake kit to make installation straightforward for compatible 2003-08 Ram models.
• Ceramic Pads: Rear ceramic brake pads provide quieter operation and reduced dust compared with semi-metallic alternatives.
• Premium G-Coated Rotors: Slotted x drilled, G-coated rotors resist corrosion and help maintain braking performance in wet or salty conditions.
• Chemical Kit Included: The kit includes a 13 oz non-chlorinated brake cleaner and 12 oz DOT 3 & 4 compatible brake fluid so a rear brake service can be completed with fewer additional purchases.
• Hardware & Grease: Contact point grease and mounting hardware are supplied to simplify reassembly and help prevent noise when installed correctly.

Who It's For

The kit is best suited for owners of 2006-08 Dodge Ram 1500 extended crew cab with 8-lug rear wheels, and 2003-08 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks who need a rear brake refresh and prefer ceramic pads plus slotted x drilled rotors for improved bite and aesthetics. It is ideal for DIY mechanics who appreciate a single package that includes cleaner, fluid, pads, rotors, grease, and hardware.

Shoppers who need front brake parts, complete axle bearing service items, or an exact OEM match for highly specific factory variants should verify fitment carefully or look elsewhere; some customers reported mixed fit feedback so checking vehicle-specific fitment in the listing is important before purchase.
