The Power Stop KC5589 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution that delivers a genuine performance step up over stock components. This all-inclusive kit bundles front and rear drilled & slotted rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — everything required for a straightforward installation with no modifications needed.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The Z23 compound fuses carbon-fiber into a low-dust ceramic formula, producing stronger, more consistent braking bite than standard OEM pads. Each pad is thermally scorched at the factory to reduce initial break-in time and eliminate the resin odor associated with first use. Dual-layer rubberized shims act as a noise insulator for virtually silent, vibration-free braking in everyday driving conditions.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision cross-drilled holes allow maximum rotor cooling by channeling heat away from the braking surface during demanding stops, while the machined slots continuously sweep the pad face clean of gases, debris, and brake dust. A zinc plating treatment protects the rotor hat and non-swept surfaces from rust and corrosion, extending service life and maintaining a clean appearance behind open wheels.
Powder Coated Calipers
The included calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion and delivers a bold, eye-catching look behind any wheel style.
