    My brakes are out and I'm looking to change everything in the braking system: calipers, rotors, pads and brake lines. The Power Stop Z36 complete package includes everything. I religiously get Centric or Stoptech parts, and I'm having a hard time getting out of my comfort zone. Has anyone installed that kit and what are your thoughts? The only potential "issue" I have, other than the unknown of using a new brand, are the red calipers, although I like that fact that they are powder coated. If it changes anything, I do tow with my Tundra.

    My only experience with the Z36 kit was with my old Jeep Comanche. A great improvement to that truck's braking. Just be sure to follow break-in instructions.

    Edit....just remembered, I also have the Z36 pads on my Tundra. That was also a noticeable improvement over the stock pads.

    I have the Z36 Power Stop Z36 Rotors and Pads all the way around and they work fine.

    I had the Z23's and had issues with rotor vibration and hot spots. I don't know if the Z36 is an improvement. I run StopTechs now...slotted cryo on the front and slotted on the rear.
