The Power Stop KC867 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on braking solution engineered to deliver a meaningful performance upgrade over stock components for daily-driven vehicles. This all-inclusive kit bundles everything needed for a full brake job — carbon-fiber ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — so there's no guesswork involved in sourcing compatible parts.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The Z23 compound combines carbon-fiber reinforcement with a ceramic base to deliver stronger pad bite, reduced brake fade, and significantly less dust than OEM brake pads. The low-dust formulation is verified through third-party on-vehicle testing, keeping wheels cleaner between washes. Dual-layer rubberized shims dampen vibration and noise for virtually silent braking under normal and spirited driving conditions.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision-drilled holes promote maximum rotor cooling by expelling heat during heavy braking. The slots continuously clean the pad surface and help evacuate gas and debris from the rotor face. A zinc plating finish protects the rotor from rust and corrosion, extending rotor life and maintaining appearance behind open-spoke wheels.
Powder Coated Brake Calipers
All calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion while providing a bold, distinctive look behind the wheels — a noticeable visual upgrade over bare or painted stock calipers.
