Construction & Design

The PowerStop Z17 Evolution kit features premium materials and thoughtful engineering to meet the demands of Jeep Wrangler drivers. The ceramic brake pads are formulated to provide excellent friction characteristics while generating minimal dust and noise. The rotors are coated with a Geomet finish, a multi-layer protective coating that resists rust and corrosion far better than standard painted or bare rotors. This coating also helps maintain the rotor’s structural integrity over time, especially in harsh weather conditions.

All hardware components are crafted from stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting resistance to corrosion and wear. The inclusion of multi-layer rubberized shims further enhances the design by dampening vibrations and reducing brake squeal, contributing to a more comfortable driving experience.

Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it suitable for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts. The kit includes all necessary hardware to complete the upgrade, ensuring a secure and proper fit. For optimal results, it is recommended to follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service guidelines during installation.
