What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads are reinforced with carbon-fiber material. This gives them increased thermal capacity and strength, which is beneficial for heavy braking situations like towing or hauling, while still offering low-dust performance for daily driving.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

This kit is designed for a bolt-on installation and includes premium stainless-steel hardware. However, standard brake service tools will be required, and it's always recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic for specific installation procedures.

Will this kit help my brakes perform better on long downhill grades?

Yes, the Drilled & Slotted rotors are specifically designed to help manage heat. The drilling and slotting allow for better airflow and expulsion of heat and gases, which is critical for preventing brake fade during extended downhill braking.

Product Details

When you're towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, or heading off-road in your 2006-2010 Ford Explorer, Explorer Sport Trac, or Mercury Mountaineer, you need brakes that can keep up. This PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit gives you everything needed for a full front and rear brake job, all in one box. It’s designed to handle the extra demands placed on your vehicle’s braking system.

Inside this kit, you'll find a set of Drilled & Slotted rotors for both the front and rear axles. The drilling helps vent gases and moisture, while the slots sweep away dust and debris, which helps keep the rotors cooler and allows the pads to maintain consistent contact. Paired with these rotors are PowerStop's Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads. These pads are reinforced with carbon-fiber material, giving them the strength needed for severe-duty stopping power, especially when towing or hauling, without making your daily commute uncomfortable. The kit also includes premium stainless-steel hardware, making installation a straightforward bolt-on process.

This kit is a popular choice for owners who use their trucks and SUVs for more than just daily driving. It offers an easy and affordable way to get a significant upgrade in braking performance, ensuring you have the stopping power you need when it matters most.
