Why Upgrade to Z36 Pads?
Stock pads tend to struggle when you:
- Load up passengers and cargo
- Tow small trailers
- Add larger wheels/tires
- Drive in traffic or hills
Result?
- Brake fade
- Softer pedal feel
- Longer stopping distances
Z36 pads fix that with:
- Stronger initial bite
- Better heat management
- Consistent stopping performance
Z36 Truck and Tow brake pads has superior stopping power that is demanded by those who tow and haul, as well as the off-road enthusiast. Any time you add weight to a vehicle by hauling a load, towing a trailer, or simply adding a larger wheel/tire combination, you change the operating conditions of your stock brake package. Those operating conditions may exceed the ability of the stock braking components.
