PowerStop brake parts

Popular bolt-on kits for trucks, daily drivers, and performance-minded street use.

We may earn a commission from retailer links. We focus on use case and fitment, but you should always confirm current price and compatibility before ordering.

What to know

PowerStop is strongest when you want pads and rotors matched in one kit for a specific job.

towingtruck suvdailyperformance

Strong kit coverage for trucks and SUVs.

Z36 leans toward towing and heavier-duty use while Z23 is more street-sport oriented.

Fitment still depends on trim, rotor size, and merchant catalog data.

PowerStop lineup

Best towing kit

Choose PowerStop Z36 if your truck or SUV tows, hauls, or carries extra weight often enough that a basic commuter kit feels underbuilt.

Brake safety and fitment warning

Brake fitment varies by year, make, model, trim, drivetrain, rotor size, axle position, and sometimes production date. Use these recommendations to narrow the field, then confirm exact compatibility before ordering. If you are not comfortable installing brake components, have a qualified mechanic do the work.
