The Power Stop KC8316 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on disc brake system upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand better stopping power without sacrificing everyday drivability. This all-inclusive kit delivers everything needed for a straightforward brake job — no modifications required.

What's Included:

• Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads (front and rear)
• Drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors (front and rear)
• Powder coated brake calipers (assembled and tested)
• Premium stainless-steel installation hardware
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

PowerStop's proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound is engineered to significantly increase braking performance over traditional ceramic pads. The low-dust formula has been validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, producing on average 30% less brake dust versus OE pads — keeping your wheels cleaner, longer. Dual-layer rubberized shims insulate against noise for virtually silent braking, while the chamfered and slotted pad design further eliminates squeal.

Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors

Precision cross-drill holes allow for maximum rotor cooling, keeping brake temperatures in check during demanding use. Rounded slots continuously sweep away gas, water, and debris to maintain a clean, consistent contact patch between pad and rotor. A silver zinc dichromate plating finish provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.

Powder Coated Calipers

All calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at PowerStop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists corrosion and adds a bold, high-performance look behind open wheels.
