Construction & Design:

The PowerStop Z23 kit features rotors crafted from premium cast iron with a zinc plating finish to resist rust and corrosion, extending the life of your braking components. The drilled and slotted rotor design enhances cooling by allowing heat and gases to escape more efficiently, which helps prevent brake fade during heavy use.

The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads utilize a proprietary compound that balances aggressive braking performance with low dust output and minimal noise. The pads are paired with multi-layer rubberized shims that further reduce vibration and brake squeal, delivering a refined braking experience. Stainless-steel hardware ensures secure, long-lasting installation and resists the elements better than standard hardware.
