What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement increases the strength of the pad material, allowing it to handle the higher temperatures and stresses associated with towing, hauling, and heavy-duty driving more effectively than standard ceramic pads.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The slots on the rotors help sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface, maintaining consistent contact. The drilling helps to vent heat away from the rotor, which is critical for preventing brake fade during heavy use like towing or descending steep grades.

Power Stop also includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature lubricant for a clean, bolt-on installation, meaning you won't need to modify your stock setup.
