Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

• Proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound delivers significantly enhanced stopping power versus traditional ceramic pads
• Low-dust formula validated through third-party on-vehicle testing, averaging 30% less dust than OE pads
• Dual-layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free, silent braking
• Carbon-fiber reinforcement strengthens the pad compound for durable, fade-resistant performance

Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors

• Cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances for a perfect bolt-on fit
• Precision drill holes allow for maximum rotor cooling during extreme operating conditions
• Rounded slots wipe away gas and debris, maintaining a clear contact patch for smooth, safe stops
• Silver Zinc Dichromate plating protects against rust and corrosion while delivering a clean, aggressive look behind open wheels

Red Powder Coated Calipers

• All calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility
• Easy-to-clean coating resists rust and corrosion, extending caliper service life
• Bold performance-red finish stands out behind stock or custom wheels
