What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

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

What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors?

Drilled and slotted rotors help keep brake temperatures down by maximizing heat dissipation. The slots help clear away dust and gas, while the drilling allows for better airflow, which is critical for maintaining consistent stopping power during demanding conditions like long descents or heavy loads.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this is a complete kit that includes the Z36 brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, premium stainless-steel installation hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant. It's designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for your stock brakes.

Product Details

PowerStop is known for making it straightforward for any driver to improve their brakes, whether for daily driving or tougher jobs. This Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is specifically recommended for vehicles like your Honda Ridgeline that are used for work or play, especially when towing or hauling. It’s a complete package designed to give you more confidence behind the wheel.

This kit pairs low-dust, carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic brake pads with drilled and slotted rotors. The carbon-fiber in the pads adds strength for heavy-duty use, while the drilled and slotted design of the rotors helps dissipate heat effectively. This is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance during long descents or when carrying heavy loads. Everything you need for a bolt-on installation, including premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature lubricant, is included, making it an easy upgrade over your stock brakes.

The rotors are zinc-plated to resist rust, and the stainless-steel pad shims help manage the higher temperatures that come with demanding applications. This kit is a solid option if you frequently tow, haul, or drive in mountainous terrain, offering an affordable way to get more stopping power without complex modifications.
