Power Stop KC6501A Z23 Evolution Sport Disc Brake Kit with Drilled & Slotted Rotors and Powder Coated Calipers

The Power Stop KC6501A Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more than factory-stock stopping performance. This all-in-one kit includes drilled and slotted rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a straightforward, no-modification installation.

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

Power Stop's proprietary Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic compound delivers enhanced braking performance over traditional ceramic pads. The pads are thermally scorched at the factory to reduce break-in time and feature a low-dust formula validated through third-party, on-vehicle testing — averaging up to 30% less brake dust versus OEM pads. Dual-layer, high-temp rubberized shims insulate against noise for virtually silent braking.

Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors

Precision cross-drilled holes maximize rotor cooling and help dissipate gases and heat during aggressive stops. Slots help expel debris and maintain consistent pad-to-rotor contact. A Silver Zinc Dichromate coating protects the rotor surface against rust and corrosion, keeping them looking great behind open wheels.

Red Powder Coated Calipers

The included remanufactured calipers are professionally assembled, inspected, and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The red powder coat finish resists corrosion and adds a high-performance look behind open-spoke wheels.

Key Features:

• Complete kit — rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic pads, powder coated calipers, stainless-steel hardware, and high-temp ceramic brake lubricant included
• Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic compound — outperforms traditional ceramic pads with superior stopping power
• Low-dust formula — 3rd-party validated, approximately 30% less dust than OEM
• Dual-layer rubberized shims — noise insulation for virtually silent braking
• Drilled & slotted rotors — maximum cooling, gas and heat dissipation, and debris evacuation
• Silver Zinc Dichromate rotor plating — long-lasting rust and corrosion protection
• Red powder coated calipers — factory assembled, tested, and corrosion-resistant
• Bolt-on installation — no modifications required; direct OEM replacement fit
• Thermally scorched pads — factory bedding reduces required break-in time

The Power Stop KC6501A Z23 Evolution Sport Kit is the ideal upgrade for drivers looking to improve everyday braking confidence and aesthetics without the complexity of a race-spec system. It is designed specifically for daily-driven applications, not for towing, hauling, or track use — for those applications, see Power Stop's Z36 or Z26 brake kit lines.
