Power Stop KC5823 Evolution Sport Drilled Slotted Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers - Z23 Red

The Power Stop KC5823 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit is a complete front and rear brake upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more from their stopping power. This all-inclusive 1-Click kit bundles cross-drilled and slotted rotors, Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, red powder-coated performance calipers, and premium stainless steel hardware into a single bolt-on solution — no modifications required.

Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

The Z23 Evolution Sport pads use a proprietary carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound that delivers a higher coefficient of friction than stock OE pads. A dual-layer, high-temperature rubberized shim system reduces noise up to 6x more than plain steel shims, while the thermally scorched pad surface ensures a fast break-in. Third-party on-vehicle testing has demonstrated an average of 30% less brake dust versus OE pads, keeping wheels cleaner between washes. A powder-coated backing plate resists rust and extends pad service life.

Cross-Drilled & Slotted Performance Rotors

Power Stop uses G3000-grade iron castings sourced from premium foundries. Drilled holes promote cooling airflow while the machined slots continuously sweep the pad surface, expelling gas, heat, and debris for consistent bite. Rotors are zinc-plated for maximum rust resistance, helping maintain clean appearance and long service life. Front rotors measure 13.98 in. (355 mm) in diameter at 1.26 in. thick; rear rotors measure 13.78 in. (350 mm) in diameter at 0.79 in. thick. Both front and rear are vented construction.

Red Powder-Coated Performance Calipers

Every caliper in this kit is professionally remanufactured, lubricated, and pressure tested at Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility before shipping. Front calipers feature a 4-piston aluminum design; rear calipers are 2-piston aluminum. The high-temperature red powder-coat finish resists corrosion and provides an aggressive, custom look visible behind stock or aftermarket wheels.
