The Power Stop KC4435-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on brake system engineered specifically for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that face the demands of towing, hauling, off-road driving, and mountainous terrain. This all-inclusive kit delivers everything needed for a straightforward installation, including premium stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant — no modifications required.
Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads are at the core of this kit, featuring a proprietary compound that reinforces standard ceramic with carbon fiber to handle heavier loads. The result is severe-duty stopping power with low dust output — validated through third-party on-vehicle testing showing an average of 30% less dust versus OE — without sacrificing everyday drivability. Stainless-steel pad shims provide superior heat resistance and virtually noise-free braking under high-stress conditions.
The kit's Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors maximize cooling by allowing hot gases and moisture to escape during extreme braking events. Precision drill holes facilitate rapid heat dissipation, while slots continuously sweep debris and gases away from the friction surface for consistent pad contact. Zinc plating provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.
Rounding out the kit are Powder Coated Calipers assembled and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coat finish protects against corrosion and adds a distinctive appearance behind open wheels.
