What makes the Z36 pads suitable for towing and hauling?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement enhances the strength of the pad material, allowing it to handle the increased stress and heat generated when towing, hauling heavy loads, or driving in mountainous terrain.

What is included in this Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit?

This is a complete rear brake kit. It includes Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, Drilled & Slotted rotors, red powder-coated calipers, premium stainless-steel installation hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The drilled holes and slots on the rotors serve two main purposes. They help to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, maintaining consistent contact. They also increase the surface area, which aids in dissipating heat more effectively, preventing brake fade during heavy use.

Product Details

PowerStop is known for making it simple for any driver to get better brakes, no matter how they use their vehicle. This Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is specifically recommended for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that are used for heavy work or play. It's designed to handle the extra stress from towing, hauling, mountainous driving, and even lifted trucks. This kit fits a range of popular GM trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Astro, GMC Safari, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

This is a complete kit, meaning it comes with everything you need for an easy, bolt-on installation. You get low-dust Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, which are reinforced to handle severe-duty stopping power while still being comfortable for daily driving. These pads are paired with Drilled & Slotted rotors. The slots help clear out dust and gas, while the drilling helps dissipate heat, keeping your brakes cooler on long descents or under heavy load. The kit also includes red powder-coated calipers that resist corrosion and look sharp behind your wheels, along with premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

With this kit, you get an affordable, bolt-on performance upgrade that makes a real difference when towing a trailer, hauling equipment for a job, or navigating tough terrain. The rotors are zinc-plated for rust protection, and the stainless-steel pad shims help manage the increased temperatures common in heavy-duty applications.
