The Power Stop CPK6518-36 is a complete Z36 Truck & Tow brake upgrade kit featuring carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, and powder coated calipers — everything needed for a bolt-on brake overhaul engineered for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that tow, haul, or tackle demanding terrain.
Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads form the heart of this kit. The proprietary carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic compound delivers severe-duty stopping power beyond what a standard ceramic pad can handle, while maintaining low dust output validated through third-party on-vehicle testing. Thermal-scorched pad surfaces promote a fast break-in, and stainless-steel shims resist the elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty applications for virtually noise-free operation.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors maximize heat dissipation to combat brake fade during long mountain descents or sustained hard braking. Beveled drill holes vent heat efficiently, while rounded slots sweep away water, gas, and dust to maintain a clean contact patch between pad and rotor. Silver zinc-dichromate plating shields the rotor surface from rust and corrosion during normal operation.
Powder Coated Calipers complete the kit with a durable, electrostatic high-temperature red powder coat finish that resists corrosion and stands out behind open wheels. Each caliper is assembled and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility and comes equipped with new bleed screws, guide pins, dust boots, high-temperature EPDM rubber seals, and premium silicone lubrication for smooth, reliable operation.
