PowerStop Z36 Rear Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads for Trucks & Large SUVs — Rear Kit with Stainless Hardware, Low Dust & Tow Perf

PowerStop Z36 Rear Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads are a bolt-on Truck & Tow upgrade that delivers stronger stopping power, reduced fade, and low dust for rear axles on trucks and large SUVs.

This complete rear pad kit from PowerStop includes Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads plus stainless-steel installation hardware, engineered to replace OE rear pads without modifications. The compound combines low-dust ceramic formulation with carbon-fiber reinforcement for improved friction and heat resistance, while stainless-steel shims and hardware reduce noise and simplify installation. The pads are specified for popular full-size trucks, SUVs, EV trucks, and certain performance and luxury models; always confirm exact fitment for your vehicle before ordering.

How do these pads improve braking when towing or hauling?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads are designed to handle the sustained heat and load from towing and heavy loads. The carbon-fiber ceramic blend keeps friction consistent under stress and reduces brake fade during long descents or repeated stops.

• Carbon-fiber reinforcement for higher thermal stability and consistent pedal feel.
• Low-dust ceramic compound for cleaner wheels and longer service intervals.
• Engineered for heavy-duty duty cycles typical of towing and hauling.

Are these brake pads noisy or difficult to install?

PowerStop includes stainless-steel shims on the pads and all required stainless installation hardware to limit vibration and rattles. Installation is a direct-fit replacement that requires no brake-system modifications, making it suitable for DIY mechanics and professional shops alike.

• Stainless-steel shims reduce vibration and help keep braking quiet.
• Included hardware ensures correct pad alignment and easy bolt-on fitment.
• No resurfacing or custom brackets required—fits like OE replacement.

Will these pads last longer than standard OE pads?

The Z36 compound is formulated for enhanced durability under heavy load, offering longer life in severe-duty applications compared with many OE replacement materials. While exact longevity depends on driving style and usage, the pads resist accelerated wear caused by towing, steep grades, and larger wheel/tire setups.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic mix resists glazing and rapid wear under heat.
• Specifically tuned for trucks and lifted vehicles with larger brakes.
• Backed by a PowerStop limited warranty for added owner assurance.
