The Power Stop KC1618 Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit with Powder Coated Calipers is a complete, bolt-on brake upgrade engineered for daily drivers who demand more from their stopping power. This all-inclusive kit delivers everything needed for a full brake system refresh — carbon-fiber ceramic pads, drilled and slotted rotors, powder coated calipers, and premium stainless-steel hardware — in a single, straightforward package.
Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
At the heart of this kit are Power Stop's Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, built with a proprietary low-dust formula that has been verified through third-party on-vehicle testing. The carbon-fiber-infused ceramic compound significantly increases braking performance over standard OEM pads while resisting brake fade at elevated temperatures. Each pad surface is thermally scorched from the factory for a faster, easier break-in process. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide an additional noise barrier for virtually silent, vibration-free braking.
Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Plated Rotors
The precision cross-drilled holes and machined slots work together to maximize rotor cooling, evacuate heat, gas, and brake dust from the pad-to-rotor interface, and protect against rust and corrosion. The zinc plating provides long-lasting surface protection to keep rotors looking sharp behind open-spoke wheels.
Powder Coated Calipers
The included calipers are powder coated, assembled, and tested to deliver outstanding corrosion resistance while adding a bold, finished appearance visible through your wheels.
