Construction & Design:

The PowerStop Semi-Coated Rotor Kit features rotors manufactured to strict OEM tolerances, ensuring precise fit and reliable performance. The semi-coated design applies a durable silver epoxy coating selectively to critical areas prone to corrosion, such as the rotor hat, outer edges, and cooling vanes, preserving the rotor’s appearance and structural integrity over time.

The Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic brake pads utilize a proprietary low-dust formula that reduces brake dust by a significant margin compared to standard pads, helping to maintain the clean look of your wheels. The pads also incorporate multi-layer rubberized shims that dampen vibrations and prevent brake noise, delivering a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
