The Power Stop KC1923 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit delivers a complete, bolt-on braking overhaul for your daily driver. This all-inclusive kit bundles Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors, red powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel installation hardware — everything needed for a straightforward upgrade over stock brakes.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's Z23 compound reinforces a low-dust ceramic formula with carbon fibers, delivering increased stopping power compared to standard OE pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims insulate against noise for virtually silent braking, and each pad is thermally scorched at the factory to shorten break-in time and improve long-term performance consistency.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision drill holes vent heat for maximum rotor cooling during hard stops, while rounded slots continuously sweep away gases, water, and debris to maintain a clean contact patch between pad and rotor. Rotors are cast from G3000 metallurgy to strict OE tolerances and finished with Silver Zinc Dichromate plating to resist rust and corrosion during normal operation.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Each caliper is remanufactured, lubricated, assembled, and pressure-tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion, extends caliper service life, and adds a bold, distinctive look visible through open-spoke wheels.
