Construction & Design:

The Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads feature a high-quality ceramic compound enhanced with carbon-fiber particles, which boosts friction and heat dissipation while maintaining a smooth braking feel. The ceramic material is known for producing less brake dust compared to traditional semi-metallic pads, helping to preserve wheel appearance. The backing plates are powder-coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring durability in various driving conditions.

Additionally, the pads are engineered with chamfers and slots that help reduce noise and vibration, while the multi-layer rubberized shims further dampen sound for a quiet braking experience. The thermal scorching process prepares the pad surface for immediate and consistent performance right from installation.
