TRQ Rear Posi Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit for Buick Chevy Pontiac

In this review of the TRQ Rear Posi Ceramic Brake Pad & Rotor Kit the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at owners of late 1990s to mid 2000s Buick, Chevrolet, Pontiac and Oldsmobile models who want a complete OE replacement rear disc solution that installs quickly and restores solid braking performance. The reviewer found the kit useful because it combines direct-fit rear rotors and a ceramic pad set with hardware and contact point grease, saving time and matching factory fitment for many popular vehicles. Fit and finish are the standout reasons to consider this kit.

Key Features

• Direct Fit OE Replacement: The kit is designed to replace factory rear disc components without modification, making installation straightforward for DIYers and shops.
• Ceramic Brake Pads: Ceramic material reduces dust and offers a quieter operation while delivering consistent braking in wet and dry conditions.
• Complete Rear Kit: Includes one rear ceramic pad set plus contact point grease and hardware along with two rear rotors, so you get everything needed for a rear axle service in one purchase.
• Vehicle-Specific Fitment: Fitment covers a range of Buick, Chevy, Pontiac and Olds models from the late 1990s to mid 2000s, reducing the risk of ordering incorrect parts when fitment is checked.
• Solid Rotors: The rear rotors are solid vent type with a 10.94 in diameter, offering a reliable surface and finish praised by users for aftermarket quality.

Who It's For

The kit is best for owners of compatible models such as Chevy Impala and Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Am and Grand Prix, Buick Regal and Century, and Olds Alero and Intrigue who need a straightforward rear axle brake refresh. It suits both home mechanics and independent shops that prefer an OE-style direct fit kit including pads, rotors and hardware in one package.

Those with performance driving needs, heavy-duty towing, or cars outside the listed model years should consider application-specific or upgraded rotors and pads. Also, buyers who require vented or slotted rotors for cooling under extreme use should look at other aftermarket options.
