The Power Stop KC1233-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system designed for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand serious stopping power. Whether you're hauling heavy loads, towing a boat or trailer, or navigating steep mountain grades, this all-inclusive kit delivers the severe-duty braking performance your rig needs without compromising everyday drivability.
Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The proprietary Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pad formula goes beyond a standard ceramic compound, enhancing braking strength to better handle heavier loads. The low-dust formulation has been validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, producing on average 30% less brake dust than OE pads. Stainless-steel pad shims resist the elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty applications, while high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant is included for a clean, quiet installation.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision-drilled and slotted rotors maximize heat dissipation, keeping brake temperatures in check during extreme braking events such as long descents or repeated heavy stops. Power Stop uses G3000-grade iron castings, and each rotor receives a zinc-plated finish for long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion. Beveled drill holes further aid in reducing rotor temperature under hard use.
Red Powder Coated Performance Calipers
The bright red powder-coated calipers are assembled and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat provides lasting corrosion protection while delivering a bold, distinctive look behind open wheels.
