PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads for Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 HD 2020–24 — Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Low-Dust

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a carbon-fiber ceramic Truck & Tow upgrade engineered to give Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 HD drivers stronger, quieter braking while towing and hauling.

These Z36 rear pads pair a low-dust ceramic formulation reinforced with carbon fibers and stainless-steel shims to increase stopping power, cut noise and vibration, and resist fade under repeated heavy use. The set ships with stainless-steel installation hardware for a true bolt-on replacement; no machining or modification is required when matched to listed fitments. Built specifically for heavy-duty trucks and large SUVs, the pads balance everyday drivability with the demands of towing, steep grades, and modified wheel setups.

How do these pads improve braking during towing and hauling?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads use a reinforced ceramic compound that delivers stronger friction without generating excessive dust. They are engineered to maintain performance through repeated heavy stops so drivers experience more consistent stopping distances under load.

• Carbon-fiber reinforcement for higher friction and thermal stability
• Low-dust ceramic mix keeps wheels cleaner than semi-metallic alternatives
• Stainless-steel shims reduce noise and dampen vibration for smoother stops
• Designed to resist brake fade during sustained heavy use
