    I may have to check out their pads and shoes. I have slotted rotors from them already. I'm running manual disc in front and larger SportWagon brakes in rear.

    I have that set up on my Regal and am happy with it 20K miles in. Stops on a dime and virtually no dust on the wheels.

    I am happy to see this thread. I just ordered a full front and rear kit from them along with Wilwood dual piston calipers. I am expecting fantastic results.

    Anyone have any input on the Powerstop Z36 setup they have for trucks and towing?

    I will be in the market soon for brakes for my 2016 Colorado that I use to tow my 66 Skylark.

    Thanks.

    Report back on if you like them. Mine are holding up great.

    I will for sure. It could be a minute or two as the body is currently off the frame.

    I have them on my 2012 Ram 3500 DRW - replaced calipers as well as pads. It took awhile for them to “set-in”, however they are quite impressive now that they are set. I did have a heck of a time getting the money for my caliper core from them. Took almost 4 months and numerous calls and “promises”. I suppose the proof is this - would I do it all over again? Yes I would, I went from having questionable braking ability to stops almost instantly - last part, they work better as they are warmed up. (I pull a 18,000# 5th wheel about 8,000 miles per year.

    I have had one of their kits on my 2004 2500 Suburban for a few years now. Way better than the stock set-up!

    Which ones are you both referring to? The Z23's or the Z36's?

    Since it's been a few years, I'm not sure which ones I bought. The rotors are all drilled and slotted and it came with pads too. I used the stock calipers, which I ended up replacing the front ones, about a year and a half ago.

    Ok, so I found the email from 2017 this afternoon. The kit I have on the Suburban is the Z23 4-wheel kit.
