Key Features:

PowerStop’s Z17 Evolution Brake Kit integrates cutting-edge technology and quality components to ensure superior braking performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Genuine GEOMET 360 coating on rotors for superior rust and corrosion resistance without compromising braking efficiency
• Z17 low-dust ceramic brake pads formulated to minimize brake dust buildup, keeping wheels cleaner for longer
• Multi-layer rubberized shims on brake pads to reduce noise and provide virtually silent braking
• Stainless-steel installation hardware included for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance

Construction & Design:

The rotors in this kit are fully coated with PowerStop’s Genuine GEOMET 360 finish, a thin, environmentally friendly layer that protects against rust and corrosion while maintaining the rotor’s braking surface integrity. This coating extends rotor life and preserves the fresh, clean appearance behind open-design wheels.

The Z17 ceramic brake pads feature a proprietary low-dust formula that reduces brake dust by a significant margin compared to standard pads. Their multi-layer rubberized shims act as an effective noise insulator, preventing squeals and vibrations for a quieter driving experience. Stainless-steel hardware ensures secure installation and resists corrosion, contributing to the kit’s overall longevity.

Performance & Sound

The Z17 Evolution kit is engineered to deliver smooth, consistent braking performance with minimal noise. The ceramic pads provide strong stopping power while generating less dust and virtually no brake squeal thanks to the advanced shim design. This results in a cleaner wheel appearance and a more comfortable, quieter ride, especially in stop-and-go traffic conditions.
