The Power Stop KC5959-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete front brake solution engineered for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand severe-duty stopping performance. This all-in-one kit includes matched drilled and slotted rotors, Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a fast, bolt-on installation with no modifications required.
Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The proprietary Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic formula enhances the strength of a traditional ceramic compound to handle the increased demands of towing, hauling, and off-road use. The pads are thermally scorched for a fast break-in, chamfered and slotted for noise-free operation, and validated through third-party on-vehicle testing for low-dust performance. Stainless-steel shims provide additional heat resistance and virtually eliminate brake noise. A powder-coated backing plate further extends pad life by resisting rust and corrosion.
Drilled & Slotted Rotors with Zinc Dichromate Plating
Rotors are cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a direct, bolt-on fit. Precision cross-drill holes maximize airflow and rotor cooling during extreme braking events such as long mountain descents or repeated heavy stops. Rounded slots continuously wipe the pad surface clear of gases and debris, maintaining a consistent contact patch for safe, smooth braking. Silver zinc dichromate plating protects all rotor surfaces against rust and corrosion.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Each caliper is powder coated in signature performance red — assembled, lubricated, and pressure tested for leak-free operation. The durable powder coat finish is easy to clean, resists corrosion, and extends caliper service life, while delivering a bold look behind open wheels.
