What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement enhances the strength and heat tolerance of the pad, making it better suited for heavy loads and demanding driving conditions like towing or hauling.

Do I need any special tools or modifications for installation?

No, this kit is designed as a bolt-on upgrade for your stock brakes. It includes all the necessary stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant, so no modifications are required.

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors help to maximize heat dissipation. This is crucial for preventing brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping power, especially during long descents or when carrying heavy loads.

Product Details

Power Stop is known for making it simple for any driver to upgrade their brakes, no matter how they use their vehicle. If you've got a 1995-1997 Ford Ranger, especially one that works hard or plays hard, their Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a solid option. This kit is put together to handle the extra stress that comes with towing, hauling, or even just dealing with steep mountain roads.

What you get here is a complete package designed to work together. The kit includes low-dust, carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic brake pads that offer strong stopping power without making a mess. These are paired with drilled and slotted rotors. The drilling and slotting aren't just for looks; they help keep the brakes cooler by letting heat escape, which is super important when you're going downhill for a long stretch or putting your brakes to the test. Everything you need for a bolt-on installation, including stainless-steel hardware, is right in the box.

This kit is a straightforward way to get improved braking performance for your truck. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock brakes, meaning no modifications are needed to get it installed and working.
