What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement makes them stronger and better suited for handling the increased heat and stress from towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use compared to typical ceramic brake pads.

Do I need any special tools or modifications for installation?

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

How do the drilled and slotted rotors help?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors create channels for air to flow over the rotor surface. This helps to dissipate heat more effectively, which is critical for preventing brake fade and maintaining consistent stopping power under heavy loads or during long descents.

Product Details

Power Stop is known for making it simple for drivers to upgrade their brakes, no matter how they use their vehicle. If you've got a 1997-2003 Ford F-150 and you're looking to improve its stopping power, especially when towing, hauling, or dealing with tough terrain, the Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle the extra stress that comes with heavier loads and demanding driving conditions.

What makes this kit stand out is the combination of its components. The Z36 brake pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound, which is stronger than standard ceramic pads and built to handle severe-duty stopping. They're also tested to produce about 30% less dust than original equipment pads, keeping your wheels cleaner. These pads work with Drilled & Slotted rotors that are zinc-plated to resist rust. The drilling and slotting on the rotors help dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for preventing brake fade on long downhill stretches or during heavy use.

Everything you need for a bolt-on installation is included, like premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature brake lubricant. This means you can get a significant performance upgrade without needing to modify your stock setup.
