Benefits of the Z23 Evolution Kit

This kit is designed to provide you with a quiet ride while keeping your wheels spotless. The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads feature a dust and noise-free formula, making them perfect for daily driving. The drilled and slotted rotors work to dissipate heat, giving you a smooth and cool braking experience, while the zinc plating protects against the elements.

Break-In Procedure

  • Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph in quick succession. Avoid coming to a complete stop during this process to prevent brake judder.
  • Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without allowing the brakes to cool. You may notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • After completing these stops, drive the vehicle for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without heating the brakes excessively or stopping completely. This allows for proper cooling.
  • Once cooled to standard operating temperature, you can use your brakes normally. Avoid cooling the brakes with water, as it can cause damage.

Fitment

  • Compatible with Subaru Impreza models from 2002 to 2003.
