PowerStop’s Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads incorporate advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to optimize braking performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Carbon-fiber ceramic formula: Enhances braking power while maintaining smooth pedal feel and everyday drivability.
• Low dust formulation: Significantly reduces brake dust buildup on wheels for a cleaner appearance.
• Premium stainless-steel hardware: Included to ensure secure, corrosion-resistant installation and long-lasting performance.
• Ceramic brake lubricant: Provided to minimize noise and vibration during braking.
• Powder-coated backing plates: Resist rust and corrosion, extending pad life and maintaining structural integrity.
• Multi-layer rubberized shims: Deliver virtually noise-free braking by dampening vibrations.
• Chamfered and slotted design: Helps prevent brake noise and promotes even pad wear.
• Thermal scorched surface: Allows for a faster break-in period and consistent performance from the start.
• Positive mold technology: Ensures consistent pad shape and reliable wear characteristics.

Construction & Design:

The Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads are crafted using a high-quality ceramic compound infused with carbon fiber to boost friction and heat dissipation. This combination provides strong stopping power while reducing the generation of brake dust and noise. The backing plates are powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion, ensuring durability in various driving conditions. Additionally, the pads feature multi-layer rubberized shims that absorb vibrations and prevent squealing, contributing to a quiet and comfortable braking experience.

Careful attention to pad geometry, including chamfers and slots, promotes even wear and helps maintain consistent braking performance over the life of the pads.

Performance & Sound

PowerStop’s Z23 pads are engineered to deliver enhanced braking response and power without the harshness or noise often associated with performance brake pads. The carbon-fiber ceramic formula provides strong initial bite and consistent stopping force, while the multi-layer shims and ceramic lubricant work together to virtually eliminate brake squeal and vibration. This results in a smooth, quiet braking experience suitable for daily driving and spirited use alike.
