TRQ Rear Performance Brake Rotors Set Compatible with Hyundai Kia

In this review of the TRQ Rear Performance Brake Rotors Set the bottom line is simple: these are a practical OE replacement for owners of compatible Hyundai and Kia SUVs who want a durable, ready-to-install rotor with improved appearance and dependable stopping power. The reviewer found the set to be a direct fit for the specified 2001-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2005-2016 Kia Sportage and 2005-2015 Tucson applications, and the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of pre-installed bearing races and a premium G-coating that simplifies installation and resists corrosion.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so installers can expect a vehicle-specific fit when checking the listing fitment information.
• G-Coated Finish: The premium G-coating helps protect the rotors from surface rust and keeps them looking better over time.
• Cross Drilled & Slotted: The cross drilled and slotted pattern aids in heat dissipation and helps keep the contact surface clear for more consistent braking.
• Complete Rear Set: The kit includes both driver and passenger side rear rotors so both sides receive matched components at once.
• Pre-installed Bearing Races: Bearing races are pre-installed which reduces prep time during replacement and simplifies the installation process.
• Aftermarket Reference: Supplied with an aftermarket reference number 980087 to aid identification and cross-referencing with parts catalogs.

Who It's For

This rotor set is best for drivers of 2001-2006 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson 4WD, 2010-2015 Hyundai Tucson AWD, and 2005-2016 Kia Sportage AWD who need a dependable rear rotor replacement with improved corrosion resistance and a performance-style appearance. DIY mechanics and professional installers will appreciate the direct-fit approach and pre-installed races which save time on the bench.

Those seeking high-end racing rotors or the absolute lightest weight performance pieces for track use should look elsewhere, since this set is positioned as a quality OE replacement with performance features, not a dedicated motorsport component.
