The Power Stop KC1306A Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system designed for daily drivers who demand more from their stopping power. This all-inclusive kit pairs carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads with drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors and red powder-coated remanufactured calipers for a significant performance upgrade over factory brakes.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads are engineered using Power Stop's proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound, which significantly increases braking performance compared to traditional ceramic pads. Each pad is thermally scorched during manufacturing to minimize break-in time and reduce the risk of brake fade at elevated temperatures. Dual-layer rubberized shims are bonded to each pad to insulate against noise, delivering virtually silent braking under normal and spirited driving conditions.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors work in tandem with the pads to dissipate heat rapidly during hard braking. Precision drill holes maximize rotor cooling, while the slots continuously sweep debris and gases from the pad surface for consistent contact. The zinc plating provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, keeping the rotors looking sharp behind open-spoke wheels.
Red Powder-Coated Remanufactured Calipers are professionally assembled, inspected, and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coating not only guards against corrosion but gives the brake assembly a bold, eye-catching appearance visible through open wheels.
