Product Details

The Power Stop KC6971 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on disc brake solution engineered for the daily driver who demands more than stock. This all-inclusive kit bundles Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed to upgrade your braking system in one box, with no modifications required.

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

Power Stop's proprietary Z23 compound infuses carbon-fiber into a low-dust ceramic formula, delivering noticeably stronger stopping power compared to conventional ceramic pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims insulate against noise for virtually silent braking, and the pads are chamfered and slotted to further reduce squeal. Low-dust performance is validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, averaging 30% less dust than OE pads — keeping your wheels cleaner between washes.

Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors

Rotors are precision-cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a true bolt-on fit. Precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling and help dissipate heat during demanding stops, while rounded slots wipe away gas and debris to maintain a consistent pad-to-rotor contact patch. Silver Zinc Dichromate plating protects against rust and corrosion and gives the rotors a sharp, finished appearance behind open wheels.

Powder Coated Calipers

Each caliper is assembled and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion, extending caliper life and delivering a bold, standout look through open-spoke wheels.

  • Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads (front and rear)
  • Drilled & slotted, zinc-plated brake rotors
  • Powder coated brake calipers
  • Premium stainless-steel installation hardware
  • High-performance ceramic brake lubricant

Super smooth and as an active duty Army guy, shipping to Alaska is brutal. You guys are amazing at keeping that low!!!

was pretty simple

Clearly states which transmission this fits.

Fantastic and easy

found what i needed fast

Website was super easy to navigate and just as easy to place an order. Great set up.

Product was well packaged. The only downside to this product is that it does not come with a new manifold gasket or new mounting hardware for the headers.

Everything about the process of ordering these tires was excellent. The price of the tires was better than anywhere else. I received the tires within two days. The tires were excellent quality! I would recommend Autoplicity for your tire needs!
