Power Stop KC2178-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit with Drilled & Slotted Rotors, Ceramic Pads & Powder Coated Calipers

The Power Stop KC2178-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system engineered for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4s that demand serious stopping power. Designed for drivers who tow trailers, haul heavy loads, tackle mountain grades, or push their rigs off-road, this all-in-one kit delivers a significant performance upgrade over factory brakes without requiring any modifications.

What's Included:

• Drilled & Slotted zinc-plated brake rotors (front and/or rear, per application)
• Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads with stainless-steel shims and hardware
• Red powder coated remanufactured brake calipers
• Premium stainless-steel installation hardware
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant

Key Features:

• Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads — A proprietary formulation that reinforces a ceramic compound with carbon fiber to handle heavier loads and elevated braking temperatures. Validated through third-party on-vehicle testing to produce on average 30% less dust versus OE pads, while delivering severe-duty stopping power with everyday drivability.
• Drilled & Slotted Rotors — Precision drill holes and slots work together to maximize heat dissipation, expel hot gases and debris from the pad-rotor interface, and protect against rust and corrosion with a silver zinc dichromate plating. Critical performance for long mountain descents and sustained heavy braking.
• Red Powder Coated Calipers — Every caliper is expertly remanufactured, lubricated, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The high-heat powder coating resists corrosion and extends caliper life, while delivering a bold look behind open wheels. Stock-sized with no wheel restrictions.
• Stainless-Steel Shims — Resist elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty towing and hauling applications, contributing to noise-free braking performance.
• Complete Bolt-On Kit — All matched components are engineered to work together. No modifications necessary — everything needed for installation is included in the box.

Power Stop backs this kit with their 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship including rotor cracking.
