Product Description

The PowerStop K15212DK-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Disc/Drum Brake Kit is a complete heavy-duty front-and-rear brake upgrade for the 2001-2002 Toyota 4Runner and 2003-2004 Toyota Tacoma (6-lug). Where the Z23 version targets spirited daily driving, the Z36 steps up to handle the added demands of towing trailers, hauling loads, mountain driving, and loaded trucks - all in a single box covering all four corners.

The Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic front pads deliver a 17% higher friction coefficient than OEM pads, paired with drilled and slotted front rotors for maximum heat management under severe conditions. Stainless-steel shims handle the elevated temperatures inherent to heavy-duty use. The coated Evolution rear drums and post-cured Z36 semi-metallic shoes complete the full brake system upgrade. Note: 2004 Tacoma models with VDC (Vehicle Dynamics Control) use a larger 318.5mm front rotor and require a different kit - confirm your build before ordering. 6-lug models only.
