Key Features:

PowerStop’s Z36 Truck & Tow brake pads combine innovative materials and thoughtful engineering to meet the demands of truck and SUV owners. Key features include:

• Carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound for enhanced strength and severe-duty stopping power
• Low-dust formulation verified through third-party on-vehicle testing to keep wheels cleaner

Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads feature a robust carbon-fiber ceramic formulation that balances durability with quiet operation. The ceramic material is engineered to withstand the high heat and stress associated with towing and off-road use, while the carbon-fiber infusion strengthens the compound to deliver superior stopping power. The backing plates are powder coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring long-lasting reliability. Additionally, the multi-layer stainless-steel shims help dissipate heat effectively and reduce vibrations that cause noise, contributing to a smoother, quieter braking experience.

Performance & Sound

These brake pads are designed to provide severe-duty stopping power without the typical drawbacks of heavy-duty pads, such as excessive noise or dust. The chamfered and slotted design reduces brake squeal and vibration, while the low-dust ceramic formula keeps your wheels cleaner. Thermal scorching of the pad surface accelerates the break-in process, allowing you to experience optimal braking performance sooner. Whether towing a trailer or navigating off-road trails, the Z36 pads deliver consistent, confident stopping power with minimal noise.
