PowerStop Z36 Rear Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads for Lexus LX570 & Toyota Land Cruiser — Truck & Tow, Hardware Included

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a direct-fit carbon-fiber ceramic upgrade engineered to deliver stronger, more fade-resistant stopping power for heavy towing and demanding truck/SUV use.

If you tow trailers, haul heavy loads, drive lifted trucks, or frequently tackle steep grades, the Z36 Truck & Tow rear pads offer a heavy-duty alternative to standard replacement pads. These rear pads use a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic friction blend plus stainless-steel shims and include stainless installation hardware so you can swap them in without modification. The package aims to reduce dust and noise while improving fade resistance under sustained braking.

How do these pads improve braking when towing or hauling?

Z36 pads are formulated for the extra heat and stress that towing and heavy loads create. The carbon-fiber ceramic compound maintains friction under high temperatures, helping resist brake fade during long descents or frequent stops.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic blend designed for high-heat performance
• Improved fade resistance on prolonged downhill braking
• Stainless-steel shims reduce vibration and squeal for smoother stops
• Specifically engineered for trucks, SUVs, and heavy-duty driving

Will these pads fit my vehicle and require special modifications?

The Z36-1304 rear pad kit is a direct-fit replacement that installs without modifications for listed models. PowerStop includes stainless installation hardware so DIY installers can complete the swap with common tools, and fitment covers multiple full-size Toyota and Lexus platforms.

• Direct-fit for rear of Lexus LX570 (2008–2011, 2013–2021) and Toyota Land Cruiser (2008–2011)
• Also fits rear of compatible Toyota Sequoia (2008–2022) and Tundra (2007–2021)
• Includes stainless-steel hardware for proper alignment and retention
• No machining, spacers, or brake system changes required

How do these pads perform day-to-day—noise, dust, and longevity?

Compared with many metallic or semi-metallic pads, the Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic material produces less visible brake dust and runs quieter thanks to the integrated stainless shims. The compound balances everyday drivability with durability designed for repeated heavy use, so you get cleaner wheels and consistent pedal feel.

• Low-dust ceramic formulation keeps wheels cleaner
• Stainless-steel shims reduce knock and squeal under normal driving
• Material selected for longer life under heavy-duty cycles
• Maintains predictable ABS and stability system performance

What’s included and what warranty support is provided?

The product ships as a complete rear pad upgrade: two carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads plus the stainless installation hardware required for installation. PowerStop backs the pads with a Performance Protection warranty to give buyers additional assurance about fitment and initial wear characteristics.

• Complete rear pad kit: (2) Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic pads and stainless hardware
• Installation hardware sized for direct-fit replacement
• 30-Day / 12-Month / 12,000-Mile Limited Performance Protection Warranty
• Manufacturer fitment guidance recommended before purchase

Who is this for: Drivers of full-size trucks and SUVs—especially those who tow campers, boats, or heavy trailers, run modified/lifted rigs, or routinely drive mountainous terrain—will benefit most from the PowerStop Z36 rear pads. If you want an easy bolt-on upgrade that reduces dust, controls noise, and sustains stopping power under stress without altering your braking system, this kit is aimed at your vehicle and usage profile.
