What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads use a Carbon-Fiber reinforcement in their compound. This makes them stronger and better able to handle the heat and stress generated during heavy braking, like when towing or driving downhill, while still offering low dust and good everyday drivability.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit is designed as a complete bolt-on upgrade. It includes the Z36 brake pads, Drilled & Slotted rotors, powder-coated calipers, premium stainless-steel installation hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help with braking performance?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors. The slots also help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, which helps maintain consistent stopping power, especially during demanding use like towing or mountain driving.

Product Details

The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is built for your 2008-2013 Toyota Highlander when you need more stopping power than stock. This kit is recommended for vehicles that tow, haul heavy loads, or frequently drive in mountainous terrain. It replaces your rear brakes with a complete system designed to handle the extra stress, ensuring you can stop confidently whether you're on the jobsite, on a trail, or on a long descent.

This kit features proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 brake pads, which are reinforced to handle severe-duty stopping without compromising everyday drivability. These pads are paired with Drilled & Slotted rotors that are zinc plated for rust protection and designed to maximize heat dissipation, keeping your brakes cooler under heavy use. The kit also includes red powder-coated calipers that not only resist corrosion but also add a distinct look behind your wheels. Everything you need for a bolt-on installation, including premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant, is included.

With this kit, you get an easy, affordable performance upgrade that directly replaces your stock rear brakes. PowerStop has validated the low-dust performance of these pads through third-party testing, showing a significant reduction in dust compared to OE pads, meaning cleaner wheels for longer.
