What makes the Z36 pads suitable for towing and hauling?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement adds strength to the typical ceramic pad, allowing them to handle the increased heat and stress associated with towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use without sacrificing everyday drivability.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install this kit?

No, this kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for your vehicle's stock brake system. It includes all necessary stainless-steel installation hardware, making it a straightforward installation process without requiring modifications.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The drilled holes and slots in the rotors help to maximize heat dissipation. This is critical for preventing brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping power, especially during demanding driving conditions like long mountain descents or when towing heavy loads.

Product Details

The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit uses proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, which are reinforced to handle the extra stress that comes with towing, hauling, or driving on tough terrain. This kit is designed to be a direct bolt-on upgrade for your vehicle's stock brakes, meaning no modifications are needed for installation. It's a popular choice for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that are used for work or play.

This kit includes everything you need for a complete front brake job: low-dust ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, and premium stainless-steel hardware. The drilled and slotted rotors are zinc-plated to resist rust and help dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent stopping power during long descents or heavy braking. The carbon-fiber reinforcement in the pads adds strength without sacrificing everyday drivability, and third-party tests show they produce about 30% less dust than OE pads.

With fitment for a range of vehicles including the Acura ILX (2014-2015), Honda Accord (2003-2012), and Honda Civic (2013-2021), this kit offers an easy and affordable way to improve your braking performance for demanding applications.
