The Power Stop KC7228-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete front and rear brake system engineered for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand serious stopping performance. Whether you're towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads to the jobsite, or navigating steep mountain descents, this all-inclusive kit delivers a significant upgrade over stock brakes with a straightforward, bolt-on installation — no modifications required.
Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
At the heart of this kit are Power Stop's Z36 Extreme performance brake pads, built with a proprietary carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound. This formula enhances the strength of a standard ceramic pad to handle heavier loads and more severe operating conditions, delivering superior stopping power while remaining low-dust and noise-free for everyday drivability. Stainless-steel shims are combined with a chamfered and slotted pad design to further reduce noise and resist the elevated temperatures generated during demanding use.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors
The kit includes cross-drilled and slotted performance rotors cast from G3000 grade metallurgy with strict OE tolerances for a perfect bolt-on fit. Precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling to keep brake temperatures in check, while the rounded slots sweep away gas and debris to maintain a clean, consistent contact patch. A silver zinc dichromate plating protects all rotors against rust and corrosion while giving them a sharp appearance behind your wheels.
Red Powder Coated Performance Calipers
The included remanufactured calipers are finished in a high-heat electrostatic red powder coat, assembled and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The coating resists rust and corrosion and extends caliper life, while the bold red finish stands out behind open wheels. Each caliper includes new bleed screws, hardware, pins, and high-temperature EPDM rubber components for lasting durability and reliable performance.
