The Power Stop KC4633 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system upgrade engineered for daily-driven vehicles that demand increased stopping performance without sacrificing comfort or cleanliness. This all-inclusive kit delivers everything needed for a straightforward installation: Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, red powder coated calipers, premium stainless-steel hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.
Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound is engineered to significantly enhance braking performance compared to traditional ceramic pads. The iron-free, carbon fiber-infused formulation resists brake fade at high temperatures and helps eliminate the erosion and grinding common with metal-based brake components. Each pad is thermally scorched during production to reduce break-in time and ensure consistent performance from the first stop. Multi-layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free braking. The low-dust formula is validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, averaging 30% less brake dust versus OEM pads — keeping your wheels cleaner, longer.
Drilled & Slotted Rotors
The precision-drilled holes in the rotors allow heated gases and air to dissipate rapidly, helping lower rotor temperatures during demanding braking conditions. The slots continuously sweep moisture, dust, and debris from the pad contact surface, maintaining a clean, consistent braking patch. Together, the drilled and slotted design works to resist rust and corrosion while extending rotor life.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
The included calipers feature a high-temperature red powder coat finish, applied and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. This finish resists corrosion for long-lasting protection and delivers a bold, sporty appearance visible through open-spoke wheels.
