Key Features:

PowerStop’s Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit integrates premium components designed to work seamlessly together, enhancing braking efficiency and longevity. Key features include:

• Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads that reinforce typical ceramic compounds for superior strength and durability under heavy loads
• Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during extended downhill or towing conditions
• Low-dust formula validated by third-party testing, producing approximately 30% less brake dust compared to original equipment
• Stainless-steel pad shims that resist high temperatures common in heavy-duty braking scenarios
• Complete stainless-steel hardware kit included for corrosion resistance and secure installation

Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads feature a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound that enhances the strength and heat tolerance of traditional ceramic pads, making them well-suited for trucks and SUVs subjected to towing and heavy hauling. This advanced material provides consistent stopping power while minimizing dust and noise.

The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to improve airflow and heat dissipation, critical for maintaining braking performance during demanding conditions such as mountain descents or extended towing. The zinc plating on the rotors offers long-lasting corrosion resistance, preserving both appearance and function over time.
