The Power Stop KC697 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit delivers a complete, bolt-on front braking overhaul engineered for daily drivers. 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 fast and straightforward upgrade over stock brakes.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
Power Stop's proprietary Z23 compound reinforces a low-dust ceramic formula with carbon fibers to significantly improve stopping power versus standard ceramic pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims act as a noise insulator for virtually silent braking, while the low-dust formulation — verified through third-party on-vehicle testing — keeps wheels cleaner between washes.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
Precision cross-drilled holes maximize rotor cooling and help prevent brake fade during demanding driving conditions. Rounded slots continuously wipe the rotor surface clear of gases and debris for consistent pad contact. A Silver Zinc Dichromate plating finish protects against rust and corrosion for lasting performance and good looks behind open wheels.
Red Powder Coated Calipers
Every caliper is powder coated, assembled, lubricated, and pressure tested in Power Stop's Chicago, IL facility. The red powder coat finish provides long-lasting corrosion protection while delivering a bold, distinctive appearance behind stock or custom wheels.
