Important Note:

Brakes are a safety critical part of a motor vehicle. Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.

Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.

With both front and rear kits included, PowerStop's Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Upgrade Kit is the ideal upgrade for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that not only work hard, but play hard too. This full vehicle set comes with everything you need, including premium stainless-steel hardware, for an easy, bolt-on installation.

Features & Benefits

Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads are designed with a low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon-fiber, to strengthen the compound and deliver severe-duty stopping power. Brake pads are drop-in ready, with no modifications to your vehicle required. Everything needed for installation is included in the box.

Evolution Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors are precision cross-drilled for maximum cooling in extreme conditions. The rounded slots sweep away gas, debris, and moisture to keep a clean fire path on the rotor surface, providing smooth, safe braking. Silver zinc dichromate plating resists rust and corrosion. PowerStop ensures a direct OE fit, so no special modifications are necessary.

    Very pleased with the kit for the whole vehicle (less calibers). Minor parts (i.e. caliber pin dust covers) was a real plus. The only issue was that it would have been nice to have two packets of brake grease per axle. The performance so far has been fantastic. Drove 300 plus mile the week following the install. Braking was smooth, solid and with no vibrations or noise.

    Excellent product and highly recommended. Kit is complete but I actually purchased 2 additional paint brushes
    (2" bristle & 2" sponge) from Home Depot to make the process quicker. After brushing and blowing off each
    caliper I started with the 2" Bristle brush at the passenger rear caliper. Instructions started 15 minutes of dry time
    for thin base coat. I used a timer to start and went from one caliper to the next applying the initial base coat which
    covered very well. By the time I got to the Drivers rear caliper the 15 minutes was up.

    I then moved to a 2" Sponge brush for a smoother top coat and followed the same process. I was able to allow the
    paint to cure 24 hours before installing my wheels and tires back on the vehicle and the calipers look great.

    The test will be longevity due to heat and washing but very happy so far.

    The small brushes included in the kit would well for applying paint to tight or fine areas vs. using an non supplied 2".
