Product Line Details

The Power Stop Z36 Truck & Tow line is aimed at heavier-duty vehicles that see frequent load, towing, or demanding road conditions. Z36-557 uses a carbon-fiber ceramic compound to improve pedal response and braking consistency compared with many stock-style pads, while also focusing on reduced dust and noise control.
