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

The Z36 kit is specifically designed to provide improved stopping power for vehicles that are frequently used for towing, hauling heavy loads, or driving in demanding conditions like mountainous terrain. The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads and Drilled & Slotted rotors work together to handle higher temperatures and stresses.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit is comprehensive and includes the Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, Drilled & Slotted rotors, powder-coated calipers, premium stainless-steel hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant. It's designed as a direct bolt-on replacement.

How do the Drilled & Slotted rotors help?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to vent gases and heat away from the brake pad surface. This maximizes heat dissipation, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during prolonged use, such as on long downhill grades or during heavy braking events.
