Power Stop CPK1781-36 Truck Tow Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers - Z36

The Power Stop CPK1781-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is an all-in-one brake upgrade engineered 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 trails, this complete kit delivers confident, fade-resistant braking in a straightforward bolt-on package.

At the heart of this kit are the Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads — a proprietary formula that infuses carbon fiber into a low-dust ceramic compound, producing a higher coefficient of friction than standard OEM pads for increased stopping torque without sacrificing everyday drivability. Pad surfaces are thermally scorched at the factory for a fast, hassle-free break-in, and stainless steel shims deliver virtually noise-free operation. A powder-coated backing plate on each pad adds resistance to rust and corrosion.

The kit's drilled and slotted rotors are cast from G3000 grade iron and finished with a silver zinc dichromate plating for maximum corrosion protection. Beveled cross-drill holes maximize airflow to dissipate heat during extreme braking, while the slots continuously sweep away brake dust and outgassing to maintain solid pad-to-rotor contact. The result is reduced brake fade under the heaviest loads.

Completing the package are the powder-coated performance calipers, professionally remanufactured, lubricated, and 100% pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. Each caliper is finished in an electrostatic high-heat powder coat for lasting corrosion resistance and features new bleed screws, hardware, pins, and high-temperature EPDM rubber seals for long-term durability.
