What is the main benefit of the Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit?

The Z36 kit is designed for vehicles that tow, haul, or are used in demanding conditions. It offers improved stopping power and heat management compared to standard brakes, thanks to its heavy-duty pads, rotors, and calipers.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this is a complete kit that includes Drilled & Slotted rotors, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, and new powder-coated calipers. It also comes with premium stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temperature brake lubricant.

How do the Drilled & Slotted rotors help my brakes?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively than plain rotors. This is important for preventing brake fade, especially during heavy braking or when towing on long descents.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2001-2003 Toyota Highlander some serious stopping power, especially when towing or hauling, this PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Rear Brake Kit with Calipers is a solid choice. This kit bundles everything you need to upgrade your rear brakes all in one box, making it a straightforward bolt-on job for your SUV.

What sets this kit apart is the combination of heavy-duty components designed for demanding use. The Z36 brake pads are made with a Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound, which is stronger than standard ceramic pads and built to handle the extra stress from towing, hauling, or driving on tough terrain. These pads are also tested to produce about 30% less dust than stock, keeping your wheels cleaner. They're paired with Drilled and Slotted rotors that are zinc-plated to resist rust and help dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for preventing brake fade on long descents. The kit also includes new red powder-coated calipers that not only protect against corrosion but also add a nice visual touch behind your wheels. You'll also get premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature brake lubricant for a complete and durable installation.

This kit is designed as a direct replacement for your stock rear brakes, meaning no modifications are needed. It's a comprehensive upgrade that addresses the rotors, pads, and calipers all at once, giving you improved braking performance for all your hauling and towing needs.
