The Power Stop KC2977 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on brake solution engineered to deliver enhanced stopping performance for daily-driven cars, trucks, and SUVs. This all-inclusive kit provides everything needed for a straightforward brake upgrade—drilled and slotted rotors, carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, powder coated calipers, premium stainless-steel hardware, and high-performance lubricant—so there's no need to source individual components separately.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The proprietary Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic compound significantly enhances braking performance compared to traditional ceramic brake pads. The low-dust formulation—validated through third-party on-vehicle testing—keeps wheels cleaner and eliminates the brake dust buildup common with standard pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims insulate against noise for virtually silent braking, while the chamfered and slotted pad design further reduces squeal. Each pad is thermally scorched during manufacturing to accelerate break-in and ensure consistent performance from the start.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Rotors are cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a true bolt-on fit with no modifications required. Precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling to keep brake temperatures in check during demanding driving conditions. Rounded slots continuously wipe away gas and debris, maintaining a clean contact patch on the rotor surface for safe, smooth braking. A Silver Zinc Dichromate plating finish provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion while adding a sharp appearance behind open wheels.
Powder Coated Calipers
The included calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion to extend caliper life, and the bold red finish provides a striking visual upgrade that stands out behind open wheels.
