PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Rear Brake Kit K5875-36 — Drilled & Slotted Rotors, Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Pads

PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Rear Brake Pad & Rotor Kit K5875-36 is a direct-fit upgrade that pairs carbon-fiber ceramic Z36 pads with drilled-and-slotted performance rotors and stainless hardware for safer, cooler braking while towing and hauling.

This all-in-one rear brake kit is built for trucks and SUVs that demand more than stock stopping power — especially when carrying heavy loads, towing trailers, or using larger wheel and tire packages. The kit combines low-dust, carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic pads with precision-machined rotors made from durable G3000 metallurgy, plus stainless installation hardware. Everything is engineered to be a bolt-on replacement with no modifications for compatible models, and the rotors receive Silver Zinc Dichromate plating to resist corrosion in tough environments.

How does the Z36 kit improve braking when towing heavy loads?

The Z36 pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound designed to maintain higher friction levels under load while producing minimal dust and noise. Drilled and slotted rotors help dissipate heat and clear gases and debris, reducing fade during repeated stops. Together they deliver more predictable pedal feel and shorter stopping distances compared with many OE replacements under heavy-duty conditions.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic pads: consistent friction and low dust
• Drilled & slotted rotors: improved heat dissipation and debris clearance
• Stainless hardware: secure, corrosion-resistant mounting

Will this kit fit my vehicle and is installation difficult?

This kit is designed as a direct-fit rear replacement for specified models and installs using the factory mounting points, so no axle or suspension modifications are required. PowerStop includes the necessary stainless-steel hardware in the box to simplify the swap. Always verify fitment for your exact year and trim before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

• Direct-fit design for listed years and models
• All required hardware included for rear installation
• Simple bolt-on swap using factory locations

How do the rotors resist corrosion and cracking in severe use?

Rotors are produced from G3000 metallurgy and machined to OE tolerances for uniform thickness and balance, reducing stress points that can lead to cracking. Precision-drilled holes and slots promote cooling and help prevent gas buildup between pad and rotor surfaces. A Silver Zinc Dichromate protective coating fights rust and maintains appearance even after exposure to road salt and moisture.

• G3000 metallurgy for strength and heat tolerance
• Drilled/ slotted design to reduce thermal stress
• Silver Zinc Dichromate plating for corrosion protection

What kind of warranty and expected durability does this kit offer?

PowerStop backs the Z36 Truck & Tow kit with a 36-month / 36,000-mile limited Performance Protection Warranty, providing coverage against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The components are engineered for extended service life compared with many OEM pads and rotors, especially when used for towing and hauling. Proper installation and periodic inspection help maximize lifespan and maintain performance.

• 36-month / 36,000-mile limited warranty
• Engineered for longer service in heavy-duty use
• Recommended routine inspections for best durability

Who this kit is for: Drivers who tow campers, boats, or work trailers; fleets and contractors requiring durable stopping power; owners of lifted or modified trucks and SUVs with larger wheels; and anyone seeking an OE-style, bolt-on rear brake upgrade with improved heat management, reduced dust, and a corrosion-resistant finish. Confirm fitment for your specific year and model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your rear braking system.
