The Power Stop KC1383 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a comprehensive, bolt-on brake system upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more from their stopping power. This all-in-one kit bundles front and rear drilled and slotted rotors, Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything needed for a complete brake system refresh with no modifications required.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The Z23 Evolution Sport pads use a proprietary carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound manufactured using OE positive mold technology to ensure uniform friction density throughout the pad. This formula delivers enhanced stopping bite versus traditional ceramic pads while resisting brake fade at elevated temperatures. Each pad is thermally scorched from the factory for faster break-in, and dual-layer rubberized shims provide up to 6x better noise insulation compared to plain steel shims. A low-dust formulation — validated through third-party on-vehicle testing — keeps wheels cleaner than OE pads. Powder coated backing plates add long-term corrosion resistance.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Rotors are cast from G3000 iron to OE tolerances and feature precision-drilled, beveled holes that dissipate heat rapidly during hard braking. Rounded slots continuously wipe away gas, dust, and debris to maintain consistent pad-to-rotor contact. A Silver Zinc Dichromate plating protects against rust and corrosion and provides a clean appearance behind open-spoke wheels.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Every caliper in this kit is professionally remanufactured, lubricated, powder coated red, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The powder coating resists corrosion, extends caliper service life, and delivers an aggressive, high-performance look behind any wheel design.
