Important Note:

Brakes are a safety critical part of a motor vehicle. Brake components should be installed by a competent mechanic in a professional manner. Any incorrect installation of brake components can cause a major safety problem or an accident. If you are not a competent and qualified mechanic you should not attempt to install these products, but should take the vehicle to a vehicle dealer or competent automotive mechanic for their installation.


Disc brake pads and rotors are wear items and as such, should be inspected regularly and replaced as necessary. Read More.

With both front and rear kits included, PowerStop's Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit enhances the performance of any daily driver. This full vehicle set comes with everything you need for an easy, bolt-on upgrade: pads, rotors, and premium stainless-steel hardware.

Features & Benefits

Z23 Evolution Sport Carbon-Fiber Brake Pads feature a low-dust ceramic formula infused with carbon-fiber, delivering improved braking power while maintaining everyday drivability. Positive mold technology delivers consistent wear and performance while the powder coated backing plate resists rust and corrosion.

Evolution Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors are precision cross-drilled for maximum cooling in extreme conditions. The rounded slots sweep away gas, debris, and moisture to keep a clean fire path on the rotor surface, providing smooth, safe braking. Silver zinc dichromate plating resists rust and corrosion. PowerStop ensures a direct OE fit, so no special modifications are necessary.

    These brakes are great on a performance car but not on a subaru. The rear pads are smaller and having the rotors drilled and slotted eats the rear pads yearly. I am on my 3rd set of rear pads but this last time I switched out the rotors for regular rotors, still powerstop brand. The front i had to replace the pads once already as well. On my camaro I have an extreme kit and they are barely even worn at all. I drive that car very spirited and probably hit 120 daily on my wife s car its just a commute to work and back. Would stick to standard rotors on the subaru s from now on. Lesson learned
