Construction & Design:

The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit features advanced materials and robust construction tailored for heavy-duty applications. The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads combine the low dust and quiet operation of ceramic pads with added strength and heat resistance from carbon-fiber reinforcement.

The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to improve airflow and dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged use. Their zinc plating provides a durable barrier against rust and corrosion, maintaining both appearance and performance over time. Stainless-steel hardware and shims further enhance durability by resisting warping and corrosion in demanding conditions.
