TL;DR Carbon-fiber ceramic friction class in a complete front-and-rear kit with drilled and slotted rotors, dual-layer rubberized shims, and stainless hardware, for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (6-lug half-ton platform only). Aftermarket brand, no SAE J866 edge code disclosed. Owners broadly report positive results; confirm your exact brake package before ordering.
The Power Stop K6560 is the Z23 Evolution Sport kit for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500: carbon-fiber-infused ceramic pads with four drilled and slotted, silver-zinc-dichromate-plated rotors, dual-layer rubberized shims, and stainless hardware for a bolt-on front-and-rear brake job. The kit is scoped to the 6-lug half-ton platform only and does not fit the 2500/3500 HD trucks. Ceramic compound sheds lighter dust than semi-metallic and runs quiet by class; owners broadly report positive results on the listing. Power Stop is an aftermarket brand, not an OE supplier, and no SAE J866 edge code is published for K6560. This is the standard Z23 street compound, distinct from Power Stop's separate Z36 Truck and Tow kit (K6560-36) built for towing.
Right pick for a 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500 owner wanting clean wheels, quiet daily braking, and a complete bolt-on kit with rotors and hardware in one box. Skip it for heavy towing or hauling: Power Stop's own Z36 Truck and Tow kit, sold under a different part number, is built for that use case. Always confirm your exact brake package before ordering; the manufacturer does not publish a 2WD/4WD or trailering-package distinction for this specific kit.
The pad is inert ceramic friction material with no chemical exposure pathway. Brake service stirs up accumulated dust; wear a dust mask and never blow it out with compressed air. Steel backing plates and rotors are recyclable as ferrous scrap when separated; friction compound goes to landfill. Prop 65 label present, reflecting the friction material's metal constituents.
K6560 is a 6-lug, half-ton-only kit listed for the 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500. It does not fit the 2500/3500 HD trucks, which use a different wheel bolt pattern and brake package. The manufacturer does not publish a 2WD-versus-4WD or trailering-package distinction for this specific kit, so confirm your exact truck's fitment through the manufacturer or Amazon's confirmed-fit tool before ordering.
It is a complete front-and-rear kit. The box includes Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads for both axles, four drilled and slotted, silver-zinc-dichromate-plated rotors, dual-layer rubberized shims, stainless installation hardware, pin bushings, and hi-temp brake lubricant. It is filed here under brake pads because the carbon-fiber ceramic pad is the scored friction item, but you receive everything needed for a bolt-on front-and-rear brake job. It is a large, heavy kit and may ship in more than one box.
No. K6560 is the standard Z23 Evolution Sport compound, built for daily street use. Power Stop sells a separate Z36 Truck and Tow kit for the same trucks under the part number K6560-36, a heavier-duty carbon-fiber ceramic formula aimed at towing and hauling. They are different friction compounds sold under different part numbers; do not confuse owner feedback on one with the other.
No. Power Stop is an aftermarket performance brake brand, not an original-equipment supplier to GM. This is an upgrade kit, not the OE replacement part, and no SAE J866 friction edge code is published for K6560.
The Amazon listing for Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport K6560 Brake Kit (Silverado 1500 / Sierra 1500) carries a California Prop 65 warning. California requires this warning on a very wide range of manufactured goods — including rubber, vinyl, plastic, and metal automotive parts — whenever trace exposure to any of roughly 900 listed substances (commonly phthalates or heavy metals) is possible, regardless of whether the specific product poses a meaningful health risk. As a passive accessory, Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport K6560 Brake Kit (Silverado 1500 / Sierra 1500) has no Safety Data Sheet, so there's no chemistry breakdown to translate beyond that.
