The Power Stop KC8842A Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more than stock performance. This all-inclusive kit bundles Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel installation hardware — everything needed for a straightforward upgrade with no modifications required.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary Z23 compound reinforces a low-dust ceramic formula with carbon fibers, delivering significantly enhanced stopping power compared to traditional ceramic pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide virtually silent braking, while the third-party validated, low-dust formulation keeps wheels looking clean. Each pad is thermally scorched from the factory to reduce break-in time.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision cross-drilled holes allow for maximum rotor cooling, keeping brake temperatures in check during demanding conditions. Rounded slots continuously wipe the pad surface clean of gas and debris for consistent, smooth braking. Silver Zinc Dichromate plating delivers long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion while adding a polished appearance behind open wheels.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Each caliper is powder coated, assembled, and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coating resists rust and corrosion and extends caliper service life, while the bold red finish adds a high-performance look visible behind open-spoke wheels.
