Give your truck or SUV the severe-duty stopping power it deserves with the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (Z36-652). This front pad set is engineered as an upgrade over stock brakes for hauling, towing, and off-road use, and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1995-2002 Ford Ranger, 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, and several Mazda B-series pickups (B2300, B2500, B3000, B4000) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- Carbon-fiber ceramic formula: a low-dust ceramic compound infused with carbon-fiber for severe-duty stopping power on trucks, SUVs, and 4x4's, with low dust verified in third-party on-vehicle testing.
- Positive mold technology: supports consistent wear and performance, and a thermal-scorched pad surface promotes a fast break-in.
- Chamfered and slotted: shaped to help keep braking noise-free, backed by multi-layer stainless-steel shims that aid heat dissipation and quiet operation.
- Powder-coated backing plate: resists rust and corrosion to help provide extended pad life.
Premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant are included to make the brake job easier. For balanced, even braking, replace the pads on both wheels of the axle together as a matched set.
