Power Stop KC1542 Evolution Sport Drilled Slotted Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers - Z23 Red

The Power Stop KC1542 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on brake system overhaul engineered for daily drivers who want real performance gains without sacrificing everyday drivability. This all-inclusive kit bundles perfectly matched components — drilled and slotted rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, red powder coated remanufactured calipers, premium stainless steel hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant — so everything you need arrives in one box.

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

The Z23 pads use a carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound that significantly enhances braking performance over traditional ceramic pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims reduce noise transfer up to 6x more effectively than plain steel shims, delivering virtually silent stops. The pad surface is thermally scorched from the factory for faster break-in, and Power Stop's low-dust formula is validated through third-party on-vehicle testing — on average 30% less dust than OE pads — keeping your wheels cleaner. OE positive mold technology ensures uniform friction density throughout the pad, controlling premature wear and noise. Each pad set includes a premium stainless steel hardware kit and high-temp ceramic lubricant.

Drilled & Slotted Performance Rotors

The rotors are precision cross-drilled and slotted to maximize airflow and cooling, helping keep brake temperatures in check during demanding driving conditions. Cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances, these rotors are a true bolt-on replacement — no modifications required. Zinc plating provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion.

Red Powder Coated Remanufactured Calipers

Every caliper in the kit is expertly remanufactured, lubricated, powder coated red, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists corrosion and delivers a distinctive look that stands out behind open or custom wheels.
