Power Stop KC1301 Evolution Sport Drilled Slotted Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers - Z23

The Power Stop KC1301 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake upgrade engineered for daily-driven vehicles. This 1-Click kit bundles everything needed for a straightforward installation — Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors, powder-coated calipers, premium stainless steel hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant — no modifications required.

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

Power Stop's proprietary Z23 compound infuses carbon fiber into a true ceramic formulation, delivering significantly enhanced stopping power compared to standard ceramic pads. Each pad is manufactured using OE positive mold technology for uniform friction density, which helps control premature wear and noise. A thermal scorching process burns off surface contaminants from production, accelerating break-in and promoting long-lasting performance. Dual-layer, high-temperature rubberized shims reduce noise up to 6x more than plain steel shims for virtually silent braking. Low-dust performance is validated through third-party, on-vehicle testing — averaging 30% less dust versus OE pads. Powder-coated backing plates resist rust and corrosion to extend pad life.

Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors

The G3000 iron rotors feature precision cross-drilled holes that allow maximum rotor cooling, helping to lower brake temperatures during extreme braking. The slots continuously sweep moisture, dust, and gases away from the pad contact surface, maintaining a clean, consistent bite. A zinc-plated finish provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.

Powder-Coated Performance Calipers

All calipers are professionally assembled, pressure tested, and finished with a high-temperature powder coating at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coat protects against corrosion while adding a sharp, aggressive appearance behind open or custom wheels.
