What is the main benefit of the Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit?

The Z36 kit is designed for vehicles that tow, haul, or are used in demanding conditions. It offers improved stopping power and heat dissipation compared to stock brakes, giving you more confidence under heavy loads or during steep descents.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this is a complete front brake kit that includes the Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, and all the necessary stainless-steel installation hardware, along with high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to vent gases and heat away from the brake pad surface. This process maximizes cooling, which is critical for maintaining consistent braking performance and preventing brake fade, especially during prolonged or heavy braking situations.

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, Ranger, Mazda B-series truck, or Mercury Mountaineer a serious stopping power upgrade, this Power Stop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is a solid option. This kit bundles everything you need for a front brake job, including specially formulated carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads and drilled and slotted rotors. It’s designed to handle the extra demands of towing, hauling, or even off-roading, giving you more confidence when you need to slow down, especially on long descents or under heavy loads.

What you get in the box is a complete package for a bolt-on installation. The Z36 pads are reinforced with carbon-fiber, making them stronger than standard ceramic pads and better suited for severe-duty use without sacrificing everyday comfort. They're also tested to produce about 30% less dust than stock, keeping your wheels cleaner. The rotors are drilled and slotted to help dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for preventing brake fade when you're towing or going down steep grades. Plus, the rotors come with a zinc plating to ward off rust, and the kit includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant for a smooth installation.
