The Power Stop KC5079 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on disc brake kit engineered for daily drivers who demand more than factory-stock performance. This all-in-one front brake kit includes carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a straightforward performance upgrade.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The Z23 Evolution Sport pads are built with a carbon-fiber-infused ceramic compound that delivers increased stopping power over OEM pads while resisting brake fade at higher operating temperatures. Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory to minimize break-in time and eliminate the resin gases that cause initial noise and reduced bite. The low-dust, iron-free formula is verified through third-party on-vehicle testing, keeping wheels cleaner between washes. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide an added noise barrier for virtually silent braking.
Drilled & Slotted Rotors
The cross-drilled and slotted 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 by venting heat during aggressive or repeated braking, while the slots continuously sweep the pad surface clean of dust and debris. A zinc plating treatment protects against rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance and appearance.
Powder Coated Calipers
The included calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable coating provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and delivers a sharp, finished look visible behind open-spoke wheels.
