Rotor Benefits:

  • Drilled holes and Slots create an escape route for debris, dust, gases, and water
  • Slots clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
  • Slots help to increase pad bite and improve air circulation
  • Drilled holes and Slots reduce stopping distances in wet weather
  • Drilled rotors improve the appearance of your wheels and provide reduced rotor weight
  • Vented type of rotors offer much faster heat dissipation

Don't go halfway when it's time to redo the brakes on your truck. Whether you tow a trailer, race or just drive aggressively , you should have the best brakes possible. PowerStop gives you the best of both worlds: let's start with the brake pads. Factory, OEM brake pads are a bucketful of compromises. They balance several factors, including pad noise, dust generation, service life, cost and – oh yeah, friction. But what works for most can be improved on. These Z36 metallic pads have a 17% higher coefficient of friction than OEM pads, giving you more stopping power, without standing on the pedal at the bottom of every long hill.

That would make these pads a great upgrade on your stock rotors, but you've already decided not to go halfway. Don't try to reuse your old discs, even if they still have enough meat on them after refinishing them to meet minimum thickness specifications. A thinner disc is a disc that has less mass. And it takes lots of mass to dissipate heat in a hurry, so get a pair of PowerStop vented, drilled, slotted discs at the same time. Mass soaks up heat quickly during a panic stop, but it takes surface area and moving air to keep the rotors cool on a long downhill or in heavy stop-and-go traffic. Cross-drilling a disc adds surface area for improved cooling, but it also makes a dramatic improvement in braking performance in the rain. Cross drilling keeps water from wedging between the pad and disc surface, making the pad hydroplane, which severely affects braking ability.

Slotting does help some in the rain, although it has other advantages. During a high-speed stop, especially with a trailer or heavy load, the organic binders in the pad material will literally boil. This is normal; the problem is that the outgassing binder turns the pad into a hot little air-hockey puck that barely touches the disc surface. It rides on a pocket of outgassing binder, keeping the pad from contacting a normal, unslotted disc. Slots sweep the gases away, letting you glide to a normal stop in time instead of running that red light at the bottom of the hill with both feet standing on the brake pedal. Not fun. PowerStop's 1-Click Extreme Truck and Tow Brake Kit combines the advantages of both cross drilling and slotting to provide you with superior stopping ability, whether it's halfway down a hill, while towing, or during the rain. Add in the superior grip, low noise and dust generation of the Z36 high-friction metallic pads, and stop in comfort and safety.

PowerStop also uses the best technology for anti-squeal shims: constrained steel. A sandwich of two layers of steel with a viscoelastic layer between them prevents acoustic coupling between the pad and caliper piston, eliminating brake squeal. Other manufacturers attempt to use a single layer of steel or a layer of Teflon to achieve this. PowerStop's solution, while pricier, is far more effective.

Founded in 1997 in Southern California, PowerStop® began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to street performance and backyard performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company management and engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle, terrain, and driving style – not just street performance. They developed a philosophy that while brake components cannot be superior without the most advanced materials, they also cannot perform in a superior fashion without matching the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, drum shoes, and other related components that delivered uncompromising fit and operation, and PowerStop’s customer base grew exponentially from positive word of mouth. The company still has its original passion for creating the best products at the best possible prices, so when it comes to replacement brake components for your vehicle, PowerStop is the only name you need to know.

Update Review-
Power Stop® - 1-Click Extreme Z36 Truck and Tow Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit with Calipers
Brakes are still running good and I did receive my core rebate money back..
Posted by Brian (Forest Hill, MD) / August 19, 20222013 Jeep Wrangler
The installation procedure was pretty straightforward on these kits. Brakes are nice and quiet with good stopping power. Only thing is I have not received my core deposit back from powerstop and it is impossible to find out the status of the check. It's been about 8 weeks since I shipped them back on my dime. CARiD had the best pricing for these at the time of order. Just beware of the core charges..

No Hardware Included, Received No Pad Clips or Anything Else
Power Stop® - 1-Click Extreme Z36 Truck and Tow Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit
I trusted for the price of this kit that it would be a good kit. It looks nice, well-built, heavy, but included NO hardware needed for the install, so as I had to re-use my old pad clips and such as no clips or boots were included. This is the reason for the 4 stars. No included hardware, clips, nothing, just the rotors and pads isn't acceptable for the premium price paid on this kit.

Great Brakes
Power Stop® - 1-Click Extreme Z36 Truck and Tow Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit with Calipers
Big upgrade from stock. Pedals feels so much better. But be aware that you have to pay shipping on your core deposit which is basically half of it.

The brakes work well and look cool. Good replacement for stock ones. Now that being said do not expect to get better stoping power than factory pads, not happen with this kit. I was an auto technician for 20 years so I know brakes, replaced thousands. I would use them again, nothing wrong with them. Just the promoting of them is misleading.

Very happy with my purchase everything fits well.

I upgraded a conversion van from OEM to Power Stop Z36 rotors & calipers. This is definitely worth the upgrade in stopping power & is especially noticable when hauling a trailer. However, the core deposit is not handled by CARiD. Instead you'll have to work with Power Stop directly. Power Stop does not pay for return shipping & must receive the calipers back within 30 days of purchase or they will not give you your core deposit back.

Rear Calipers Locked Up After 6 Months
Power Stop® - 1-Click Extreme Z36 Truck and Tow Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit with Calipers
Bought these and my rear caliper on the driver side locked up after roughly 6 months of use. They warrantied them out and sent me a new pair despite only one locking up. I replaced it and now 10 months later the passenger side is locking up.. Very disappointed with the quality, I would not recommended.

So Far They Are Great!
Power Stop® - 1-Click Extreme Z36 Truck and Tow Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit
Installed front and rear on a 2015 Toyota 4Runner SR5. They look fantastic. Everything was shipped properly with all the correct matching parts. The only thing I did not use were the rear caliper rubber boots for the sleeve pins as the existing boots were just fine. Broke them in properly and my stopping power in the SR5 has greatly improved. Highly recommend this kit for any 4Runner owner. Time will tell how they hold up but really great so far!
