The Power Stop KC2323 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution engineered for daily-driven cars, trucks, and SUVs. This all-inclusive kit delivers a meaningful performance upgrade over stock brakes, combining matched components into a single, hassle-free package that includes pads, rotors, calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The Z23 pads are built with a carbon-fiber-infused ceramic compound that delivers increased stopping power compared to standard ceramic pads. A dual-layer rubberized shim reduces noise for virtually silent braking, while the low-dust formulation — verified through third-party on-vehicle testing — keeps wheels cleaner between services. Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory to shorten break-in time and help resist brake fade at elevated temperatures.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision beveled drill holes lower rotor temperatures during hard stops by maximizing heat dissipation, while rounded slots continuously sweep away dust, gas, and water to maintain a clean pad-to-rotor contact patch. All rotors are silver zinc-plated to guard against rust and corrosion during normal operation. Rotor runout is held within 0.0015 in. and DTV tolerance within 0.005 in. for smooth, vibration-free braking.
Powder-Coated Remanufactured Calipers
Every caliper is expertly remanufactured, lubricated, pressure-tested, and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat in Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The bold finish provides long-lasting protection and an aggressive appearance behind open or custom wheels.
