The Power Stop KC1854-36 is a complete Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit designed for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4s that demand severe-duty stopping performance. This all-in-one kit includes drilled and slotted rotors, Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, red powder coated calipers, and all necessary premium stainless-steel hardware for a straightforward bolt-on installation — no modifications required.
Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
At the heart of this kit are Power Stop's proprietary Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads. The carbon-fiber reinforcement enhances the strength of a traditional ceramic compound, delivering the increased friction coefficient needed to handle heavier loads, towing, and hauling. Stainless-steel pad shims resist high temperatures common in heavy-duty use and help ensure virtually noise-free braking. Low-dust performance has been validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, averaging 30% less dust than OE pads.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
The kit's performance rotors are cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a perfect bolt-on fit. Precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling by facilitating heat and gas escape during extreme braking conditions. The machined slots continuously sweep away debris, moisture, and gases from the pad-to-rotor contact surface for consistent, fade-resistant stopping power. All rotors are finished with silver zinc dichromate plating to protect against rust and corrosion.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Each caliper in this kit is powder coated in performance red, assembled, lubricated, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coating provides long-lasting protection against corrosion while delivering an aggressive, high-performance look behind open wheels.
