What’s Included?

The PowerStop Z36 kit arrives as a complete front brake upgrade package.

Included:

• 2 Front Drilled & Slotted Rotors
• Front Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
• Stainless Steel Installation Hardware
• Brake Lubricant

No piecing together parts from multiple manufacturers. Everything arrives in one box ready for installation.

Built for Trucks and SUVs

Unlike standard passenger car brake pads, the Z36 series is specifically engineered for heavier vehicles.

Ideal for:

• Towing Campers
• Boat Trailers
• Utility Trailers
• Overland Builds
• Lifted Trucks
• Larger Tire Setups
• Fleet Vehicles
• Daily Drivers

If you’ve added weight to your truck, chances are you’ve also increased the workload on your brakes.

Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

More Stopping Power

The Z36 compound utilizes carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic materials to improve braking performance over traditional OE-style pads.

Benefits include:

• Improved stopping capability
• Better resistance to fade
• Enhanced thermal stability
• Strong braking under load

Low Dust Operation

Nobody enjoys scrubbing brake dust off expensive wheels.

The carbon-fiber ceramic compound helps reduce:

• Brake dust accumulation
• Wheel contamination
• Cleaning frequency

Quiet Performance

Integrated stainless-steel shims help minimize:

• Brake squeal
• Vibration
• Harshness

You get improved braking performance without sounding like a city bus every time you stop.

Drilled & Slotted Rotors

Improved Heat Management

Heat is the enemy of braking performance.

The drilled and slotted rotor design helps:

• Vent excess heat
• Release trapped gases
• Remove debris
• Maintain consistent pad contact

This becomes particularly important when towing or driving through mountainous terrain.

Reduced Brake Fade

Under heavy braking conditions, excessive heat can cause brake fade.

The rotor design helps maintain:

• Consistent pedal feel
• Reliable stopping power
• Better high-load performance

G3000 Metallurgy Construction

PowerStop uses G3000-grade castings designed to provide:

• Strength
• Durability
• Consistent performance
• Long service life

Corrosion Protection

Silver Zinc Dichromate Coating

The rotors feature a protective zinc coating that helps resist:

• Rust
• Corrosion
• Surface deterioration

This is especially beneficial for:

• Snow climates
• Coastal regions
• Wet environments
• Daily-driven trucks

Nothing ruins a new brake upgrade faster than a rotor that looks 20 years old after one winter.

Perfect for Overland and Lifted Builds

Many Tacoma, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser owners eventually add:

• Larger Tires
• Steel Bumpers
• Roof Racks
• Recovery Gear
• Camping Equipment

All that extra weight increases stopping distances.

The Z36 kit helps compensate for those modifications by providing stronger braking performance than factory components.

Direct Bolt-On Installation

No Modifications Required

Benefits include:

• Factory fitment
• OEM mounting points
• Included hardware
• Straightforward installation

For most DIY enthusiasts, installation can be completed using common hand tools.

Warranty Coverage

PowerStop backs this kit with:

36-Month / 36,000-Mile Limited Warranty

Providing additional peace of mind for daily drivers and work vehicles alike.

Final Thoughts

The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is one of the most worthwhile upgrades available for Toyota Tacoma, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser owners. With carbon-fiber ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, corrosion-resistant coatings, and truck-specific engineering, it delivers the stopping power needed for towing, off-roading, hauling, and everyday driving.

Because adding 35-inch tires without upgrading your brakes is basically asking physics to do you a favor.
