The Power Stop KC749 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more from their stopping power. This all-inclusive kit includes Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a fast, clean installation with no modifications required.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound delivers enhanced stopping performance over standard OEM pads. The pads are thermally scorched during manufacturing to reduce break-in time and improve immediate performance. A dual-layer rubberized shim design acts as a noise insulator for virtually silent braking, while the low-dust formula — verified through third-party on-vehicle testing — keeps wheels cleaner than traditional brake pads.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
The cross-drilled holes allow maximum heat dissipation, keeping brake temperatures in check during demanding driving conditions. Rounded slots continuously wipe away gas, dust, and debris, maintaining a clean contact patch between pad and rotor for consistent, safe braking. Silver zinc dichromate plating provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion while giving the rotors an aggressive, performance look behind open wheels.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Each caliper is powder coated with an electrostatic red finish, assembled, and 100% pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable coating resists rust and corrosion, extending caliper life while delivering a bold, custom look behind your wheels. New bleeder screws, hardware, and pins are included, along with premium silicone lubrication for smooth, long-lasting operation.
