The Power Stop KC5523 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution engineered for daily drivers who demand more than factory-stock performance. This all-inclusive kit bundles front and rear drilled and slotted rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a straightforward upgrade with no modifications required.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound delivers a meaningful step up in stopping power over conventional ceramic or metallic pads. Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory to reduce break-in time and eliminate the transfer of production residues that can cause initial brake noise. Dual-layer rubberized shims further dampen vibration for virtually silent operation. The low-dust formula is verified through third-party on-vehicle testing, so your wheels stay cleaner longer.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision drill holes allow heated gases and air to escape quickly, helping to lower rotor temperatures during aggressive braking. The machined slots continuously sweep the pad surface free of dust and debris, maintaining a clean contact patch for consistent, fade-resistant stopping. A zinc-plated finish guards against rust and corrosion, extending rotor service life.
Powder Coated Calipers
All calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable finish provides long-lasting corrosion resistance and delivers a bold appearance visible behind open-spoke wheels.
