Product Details

The Power Stop KC7053 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system designed for daily drivers who demand more than stock performance. This all-inclusive kit delivers upgraded stopping power, reduced brake dust, and a distinctive look — without the complexity of piecing together individual components.

At the heart of this kit are Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads, engineered with a carbon-fiber-infused ceramic compound that significantly outperforms standard OEM ceramic pads. The pads are thermally scorched at the factory for a faster break-in, and feature a low-dust formulation verified through third-party on-vehicle testing — keeping your wheels cleaner between washes. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide an additional noise barrier for virtually silent braking operation.

The kit's Drilled and Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors work in concert with the Z23 pads to maximize cooling and heat dissipation. Precision cross-drilled holes allow hot gases and heat to escape, while the slots continuously clean the pad surface for consistent bite and fade resistance. The zinc plating provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.

Completing the system are Powder Coated Calipers, assembled and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coat finish resists corrosion and delivers a bold, aggressive look through open-spoke wheels. All necessary premium stainless-steel installation hardware is included for a straightforward, no-modification bolt-on installation.

What's Included:

  • Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads (front and/or rear, as applicable)
  • Drilled and Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
  • Powder Coated Performance Calipers
  • Premium Stainless-Steel Hardware Kit
  • Ceramic-based caliper lube

Key Features:

  • Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Compound — increased braking power over standard ceramic pads with superior fade resistance at elevated temperatures
  • Thermally Scorched Pads — factory heat treatment accelerates break-in and ensures consistent performance from the first stop
  • Low-Dust Formula — third-party tested to produce less dust than OEM pads, keeping wheels looking cleaner longer
  • Cross-Drilled & Slotted Rotors — maximized cooling, debris clearing, and corrosion resistance via zinc plating
  • Powder Coated Calipers — pressure-tested for safety, corrosion-resistant finish for lasting appearance
  • Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims — noise insulation for virtually silent braking
  • Complete Bolt-On Kit — all hardware included, no modifications required
  • 24-Month / 24,000-Mile Warranty
