The Power Stop CPK8478-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, all-in-one brake upgrade engineered for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand severe-duty stopping performance. Designed to handle the added stress of towing, hauling, mountainous driving, and lifted truck applications, this kit delivers confident stopping power with a bolt-on installation that requires no modifications.
At the heart of this kit are Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads — a proprietary formula that reinforces a low-dust ceramic compound with carbon fiber to provide superior stopping power over stock brakes while maintaining everyday drivability. The pads feature stainless-steel shims for noise and vibration reduction, and a powder-coated backing plate to resist rust and corrosion.
Paired with drilled and slotted, silver zinc-plated rotors manufactured from G3000 metallurgy, this kit maximizes heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during long descents or extreme braking conditions. The precision-drilled holes and slots also sweep away gas and debris for consistent, reliable braking performance.
The included powder-coated calipers are finished with an electrostatic high-temperature coating, assembled and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. Each caliper features high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots, premium silicone lubrication, new bleed screws, and stainless-steel hardware for long-lasting corrosion resistance and smooth operation.
