Product Details

Z36 Evolution Drilled and Slotted Disc and Drum Brake Kit by PowerStop®. If you drive your truck like a truck, by hauling loads or towing, then you need the extra stopping power of PowerStop's Z36 Truck and Tow brake pads. Go ahead and max out your vehicle weight. Ditto for the trailer. Now go tow through some hilly country. With stock pads, on many trucks, you'll be chewing on your fingernails on every downhill.

Don’t make yourself a nervous wreck; switch to PowerStop’s Z36 Truck and Tow pads. Their coefficient of friction is 17% higher than OEM pads, and that means better bite, especially on heavier vehicles. Sure, it’s easy to compound a brake pad that has more grip (like PowerStop Z36 pads), but it’s usually at the expense of pad life, dust on your front wheels, and excess heat buildup that turns into brake fade. With long pad life and improved performance, these premium pads will give you better brake feel, cleaner front wheels and quiet stops.

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.

PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors give you the advantages of both drilled holes for cooling and slots to sweep away gas and dust. PowerStop rotors use only the finest blanks and feature G3000 grade castings from the best foundries. All drilled and slotted rotors (except for hub rotor assemblies) are silver zinc plated to resist rust. With a direct OE fit and vane count, there are no special modifications needed on your car, truck or SUV. The drilled and slotted design is our most popular performance rotor for street and day track applications.

Repurchasing
Good system, it went on pretty quickly on my 2012 GMC Sierra 1500. It lasted about 60,000 miles through cross-country travel with all sorts of extreme conditions and towing.

Great Addition to the Camaro
Time for new brakes means time for upgrades. 2016 Camaro LT with stock JL9 brakes. Upgraded to the Z23 Evolution Sport pads and rotors for looks and performance.

Perfect Upgrade
Can't say enough about the quality and certainty the stopping advantage these brakes have over OEM. Easy install and a great look as well Rims block the view so no pictures I highly recommend Z23 Power Stop break kit.

Powerstop Geomet Plain Rotors
So far, after approx. 100 miles, the brakes work well. I had Powerstop cross drilled and slotted rotor prior to the replacement with these plain rotors. The cross drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads started to make a lot of noise during hard braking, after around 50K miles. I noticed that the rear brakes rotors slots were packed with brake material on the inside surface when I examined them after removal.

Great Improvement Over Stock.
Everything fit very well. Fast delivery and good looking rotors. I will definitely get them for the back as well.

Better Than Any OEM Rotors, Calipers and Pads
I started using these on my Avalon and my wife's Lexus RX-350 about 3 years ago. I drive a lot of miles - in excess of 50,000 a year and have just recently replaced the front rotors and pads on the Avalon. Back ones are still fine. I have 250K miles on the Avalon and the calipers were still in great shape - and the pads were still in good shape. I have had them on for about 100K - but unfortunately - the front rotors did warp - that is why I ordered this set to replace them. My wife drives much less but has had no problems over the last several thousand miles. We both have the powdered coated calipers and doubt I will ever order any other rotors/pads or calipers again. In spite of the warping issue - 100K is a lot of miles - so I am not complaining. CARiD is where I go for almost everything I order for my cars - people are great to work with and I recently ordered the front bearing kits for my Avalon. Find a good mechanic you can trust that will put them on - many will not let you furnish parts.

Brake Kit
Easy ordering. Fast free shipping. Packaged very well. All hardware included. Installation has been non-eventful. Definitely recommend. Still have to install rear axle kits. Didn't realize I have to pull hubs to replace discs, so, didn't get new seals!! Looking forward to better brakes!
