PowerStop Rear Brake Pads for Lexus & Toyota — Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow rear brake pads are a carbon-fiber ceramic direct-fit upgrade engineered to improve stopping power and durability for towing and heavy-duty SUV use.

These Z36-606 rear pads combine a low-dust carbon-fiber ceramic friction material with stainless-steel shims and supplied installation hardware to deliver stronger, quieter braking without modifying factory components. Built specifically for trucks and SUVs that tow, haul, or run larger wheels and lifted suspensions, the kit replaces OE rear pads on a range of Lexus and Toyota models for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade.

How do these pads help when towing or hauling?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads are formulated to resist fade and retain consistent bite under heat and load so you get repeatable deceleration while towing trailers, boats, or heavy cargo. The carbon-fiber ceramic compound balances stopping power with long wear life for work and recreational use.

• Reduced fade under sustained braking for trailers and steep descents
• Carbon-fiber reinforcement for improved initial bite and thermal stability
• Longer service life compared with many standard ceramic compounds

Will installation require modifications or extra parts?

No modifications are required — the kit is designed as a direct-fit replacement for the rear calipers listed in the vehicle fitment. PowerStop includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you can complete a do-it-yourself swap with the stock mounting points and hardware locations.

• Includes all necessary stainless-steel clips and hardware for rear fitment
• Direct-fit design matches OE pad dimensions and backing plates
• Typical DIY installation with standard hand tools; no machining needed

How do these pads affect noise, dust, and drivability?

The low-dust ceramic formulation minimizes brake residue on wheels while stainless-steel shims help suppress vibration and squeal. The compound is tuned to provide a quiet, predictable pedal feel suitable for daily driving as well as heavy-duty use.

• Low-dust compound keeps wheels cleaner than many semi-metallic pads
• Stainless shims reduce vibration and audible noise under light braking
• Balanced friction preserves smooth, linear pedal response for street use

Which vehicles do these rear pads fit and what does the warranty cover?

Who is this for: Drivers with Lexus or Toyota trucks and SUVs who tow or haul regularly, owners of lifted or modified 4x4s seeking improved thermal capacity and fade resistance, and anyone wanting a cleaner, quieter ceramic upgrade over standard OE rear pads. If you need stronger stopping during heavy loads without changing factory calipers, the PowerStop Z36-606 rear Truck & Tow pads offer a practical bolt-on solution.
