The Power Stop K6478 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is a complete, bolt-on braking solution designed to deliver a genuine performance upgrade over factory brakes for daily-driven cars, trucks, and SUVs. The kit bundles all the components needed for a straightforward installation into a single, application-specific package.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
At the core of this kit are Power Stop's proprietary Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads, engineered with a carbon-fiber infused, 100% non-ferrous ceramic compound. The iron-free formulation eliminates metal-to-metal contact for quieter, cleaner operation, while the carbon infusion delivers measurably greater stopping power than conventional ceramic pads. Each pad undergoes a Thermal Scorching process—heated to up to 700°C—which burns off residual manufacturing gases and resins for reduced noise, shorter break-in time, and consistently higher performance from the first stop. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide an additional barrier against brake noise. The low-dust formula has been verified through third-party on-vehicle testing, helping keep wheels cleaner between washes.
Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors
The kit's cross-drilled and slotted rotors are precision-engineered to maximize thermal management. Cross-drilled holes vent hot gases and air away from the rotor surface, while the slots channel brake dust, water, and debris outward while drawing cooler air across the friction surface. The result is a consistently clean, cool rotor contact area for improved bite and fade resistance. A Silver Zinc Dichromate plating finish provides long-lasting protection against rust and corrosion, maintaining appearance behind open-spoke wheels.
