Power Stop Z23 Evolution Kit w/Calipers for Subaru WRX 2015-2019

Upgrade your Subaru WRX's braking system with the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Kit w/Calipers. This comprehensive brake upgrade kit is designed specifically for the 2015-2019 WRX, providing you with everything you need for a straightforward, bolt-on installation. Say goodbye to standard, off-the-shelf brake components and hello to enhanced stopping power that keeps your ride smooth and stylish!

Features

  • Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: These high-performance pads are engineered for everyday driving, offering a significant boost in braking performance without sacrificing comfort.
  • Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims: Designed to minimize noise, these shims ensure your braking experience is virtually silent.
  • Drilled, Slotted & Zinc-Plated Rotors: These rotors not only enhance cooling but also resist rust and corrosion, ensuring durability and performance.
  • Premium Stainless Steel Hardware: Comes with high-temperature brake lubricant for optimal performance.

Benefits

The Z23 Evolution Kit is perfect for daily drivers, providing a blend of enhanced performance and reliability. The carbon-fiber ceramic pads reduce dust and noise, keeping your wheels clean while delivering a quiet ride. The drilled and slotted rotors improve heat dissipation, which means you can brake confidently, even under heavy use.

Break-In Procedure

To ensure optimal performance, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Perform 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph to 10 mph in quick succession. Avoid complete stops to prevent imprinting on the rotors.
  • Next, complete 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph without letting the brakes cool down. Expect some resin smell as the brakes heat up.
  • Finally, drive for about 5 minutes at moderate speed, allowing the brakes to cool naturally before using them normally.

Never cool your brakes with water, as this can cause damage.

Fitment

  • Compatible with Subaru WRX models from 2015 to 2019.
