Product Details

Z36 Extreme Truck and Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Front Brake Pads (Z36-785) by PowerStop®. If you drive your truck like a truck, by hauling loads or towing, then you need the extra stopping power of PowerStop’s Z36 Truck and Tow brake pads. Go ahead and max out your vehicle weight. Ditto for the trailer. Now go tow through some hilly country. With stock pads, on many trucks, you’ll be chewing on your fingernails on every downhill.

Installation

Don’t make yourself a nervous wreck; switch to PowerStop’s Z36 Truck and Tow pads. Their coefficient of friction is 17% higher than OEM pads, and that means better bite, especially on heavier vehicles. Sure, it’s easy to compound a brake pad that has more grip (like PowerStop Z36 pads), but it’s usually at the expense of pad life, dust on your front wheels, and excess heat buildup that turns into brake fade. With long pad life and improved performance, these premium pads will give you better brake feel, cleaner front wheels and quiet stops.

PowerStop also uses the best technology for anti-squeal shims: constrained steel. A sandwich of two layers of steel with a viscoelastic layer between them prevents acoustic coupling between the pad and caliper piston, eliminating brake squeal. Other manufacturers attempt to use a single layer of steel or a layer of Teflon to achieve this. PowerStop’s solution, while pricier, is far more effective.

Got them on my 09 Silverado, by far the best brakes I’ve used to date!

Can definitely notice more stopping power over Motorcraft or other brake pads I've used.

The Z36-756 pads were just as ordered and were delivered quickly. The installation went smoothly. I would recommend purchasing products from this company.
