Power Stop Z36 Extreme Truck & Tow Big Brake Upgrade Kit

Power Stop's Z36 Extreme Truck & Tow Big Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution engineered specifically for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that haul heavy loads, tow trailers, run larger wheel and tire combinations, or regularly tackle demanding terrain. Every component in the Z36 system is purpose-built and precision-matched to work together as a complete system, delivering severe-duty stopping confidence that goes well beyond what factory brake systems are designed to handle.

At the heart of every Z36 kit is Power Stop's proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pad compound — a reinforced formulation that infuses traditional ceramic with carbon fiber to dramatically increase braking torque and thermal capacity. The result is fade-resistant, severe-duty stopping power that maintains consistent friction at elevated temperatures, while still delivering the quiet, low-dust everyday drivability you expect. Low-dust performance is independently verified through third-party on-vehicle testing.

What's Included (varies by kit configuration):

• Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads — thermally scorched for fast break-in; stainless-steel shims provide virtually noise-free operation and improved heat dissipation; low-dust formulation verified through third-party testing
• Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors — precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling during extreme braking events; slots continuously sweep away gases, debris, and moisture to maintain a clean, consistent friction surface; G3000-grade castings from trusted foundries; zinc plating for long-lasting corrosion resistance
• Powder-Coated Performance Calipers (select configurations) — assembled and 100% pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility; finished in electrostatic high-heat powder-coat for corrosion resistance and a bold appearance behind open wheels
• Premium Hardware & Brake Lubricant — stainless-steel hardware and everything required for a complete, professional-quality installation right out of the box

Engineered to Defeat Brake Fade:

• Specifically designed to combat the intense heat generated when stopping heavy loads, especially on long downhill grades
• Drilled and slotted rotor surfaces work in tandem to evacuate hot gases and moisture, maintaining lower operating temperatures during extended or repeated braking
• Helps prevent brake fluid boil by managing overall brake system temperatures under severe-duty load conditions
• Carbon-fiber infused pad compound maintains consistent friction at elevated temperatures where standard pads can falter
• Complete bolt-on system — no cutting, drilling, or modifications required
• Backed by a 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Z36 Big Brake Upgrade Kits are available in multiple configurations — pads and rotors, or full caliper kits — so every component is precision-matched to work together as a complete system from the very first stop. Select the correct kit configuration for your application to get the severe-duty stopping power your truck demands.
