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.
