Power Stop 79-81 Buick Century Front & Rear Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit

The Power Stop 79-81 Buick Century Front & Rear Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit, SKU K15041DK-36, represents a comprehensive performance brake solution designed specifically for a wide range of classic GM vehicles, including the Buick Century series from 1979 to 1981. This kit is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of truck and towing applications, ensuring superior stopping power, reliability, and durability under rigorous conditions.

PowerStop, a recognized leader in brake technology, is committed to providing high-quality braking components that enhance vehicle safety and performance. Their Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is a testament to this commitment, combining advanced materials and precision engineering to deliver a product that meets professional standards and exceeds expectations.

This brake kit includes both front and rear components, featuring low-dust ceramic brake pads reinforced with carbon fiber. This reinforcement enhances the pads’ ability to withstand severe-duty braking demands while maintaining excellent everyday drivability and minimizing brake dust accumulation. The ceramic formulation also contributes to quieter operation and longer pad life, which are critical factors for both daily driving and heavy-duty use.

Complementing the pads are the drilled and slotted rotors designed to maximize heat dissipation during braking. The rotor design effectively reduces brake fade by allowing hot gases and debris to escape and by increasing airflow over the rotor surface. This feature is particularly beneficial for vehicles engaged in towing or heavy hauling, where brake temperatures can rise significantly during prolonged downhill descents or frequent stop-and-go conditions.

The kit also includes premium coated brake drums, brake shoes, a spring/hold-down kit, and adjusters for the rear brakes. The Evolution premium coating on the drums provides enhanced corrosion resistance, extending the service life of these components and maintaining optimal braking performance over time. The inclusion of all necessary hardware ensures a straightforward, bolt-on installation process, minimizing downtime and installation complexity.

Designed to fit a variety of GM models from the late 1970s to early 1980s, this kit is compatible with:
