Upgrade your rig's braking with the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pad Set (Z36-154) — a PowerStop brake pad built for drivers who tow, haul, and head off-road. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of GM applications, including the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu, 1982-1992 Chevrolet Camaro, 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10, 1978-1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, and 1991-2003 GMC Sonoma. The catalog lists this set for both front and rear axle positions, so check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 42-vehicle list and the correct axle for your vehicle.
These PowerStop extreme brake pads use a low-dust ceramic compound infused with carbon fiber to strengthen the formula and deliver severe-duty stopping power for trucks, SUVs, and 4x4's.
Premium hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are included to make the install easier. For balanced braking, replace the pads on both wheels of the axle together as a matched set, and pair them with fresh PowerStop rotors and pads if your discs are worn.
Does this PowerStop Z36 set fit my Chevy Malibu?
Yes — the Z36-154 set is listed for the 1978-1983 Chevrolet Malibu among 42 GM applications. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your year and the correct front or rear axle.
What makes the Z36 Truck & Tow pads different?
They use a low-dust ceramic compound infused with carbon fiber for severe-duty stopping power on trucks, SUVs, and 4x4's, with positive mold technology for consistent wear.
Does this set include hardware?
Yes. PowerStop includes premium hardware and ceramic brake lubricant with the Z36-154 set to help make the brake job easier.
Are these pads noisy?
They're chamfered, slotted, and fitted with multi-layer stainless-steel shims that aid heat dissipation for virtually noise-free braking, and a thermal-scorched surface helps a fast break-in.
Should I replace the rotors too?
For the best result, inspect your rotors and replace them if worn — many owners install fresh PowerStop brake pads and rotors together for balanced, even braking.
