The Power Stop CPC4683-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on brake system designed for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand severe-duty stopping performance. Whether towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, navigating mountain descents, or tackling off-road terrain, this kit delivers the braking confidence your vehicle needs.
At the heart of this kit are Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, which reinforce a low-dust ceramic compound with carbon fibers for extreme stopping power without sacrificing everyday drivability. Low-dust braking is validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, averaging 30% less dust versus OE pads. Stainless-steel pad shims resist the elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty applications for a quiet, fade-resistant braking experience.
The pads are paired with drilled, slotted, and zinc-plated rotors cast from G3000-grade metallurgy with strict OE tolerances. Precision drill holes and rounded slots maximize heat dissipation, vent gases, and sweep away debris to maintain a clean contact patch for consistent, fade-free braking under extreme conditions. Silver Zinc Dichromate plating protects against rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance.
This kit includes powder coated brake calipers finished in an electrostatic high-temperature red powder coat — assembled and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. Each caliper is 100% pressure tested to prevent leaks, and expertly assembled with new seals, guide pins, dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless-steel abutment hardware. High-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots and premium silicone lubricant ensure smooth, durable operation in the harshest conditions.
