If you're looking to upgrade your Volkswagen Beetle's braking system, the Power Stop Z23 Evolution Kit is just what you need. This comprehensive kit includes everything from brake pads and rotors to premium stainless steel hardware, making it an easy, bolt-on solution for enhancing your daily driver's stopping power.
Why Choose the Z23 Evolution Kit?
Forget about standard, off-the-shelf parts. The Z23 Evolution Kit is designed specifically for performance and reliability. Its innovative features ensure that you not only get better braking performance but also a quieter and cleaner ride.
Key Features:
- Z23 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads: Engineered for everyday cars, trucks, and SUVs, these pads offer upgraded braking performance.
- Dual-Layer Rubberized Shims: These shims act as excellent noise insulators, ensuring virtually silent braking.
- Drilled, Slotted & Zinc Plated Rotors: Designed to provide maximum cooling and protect against rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity and performance.
- Premium Stainless Steel Hardware: Comes with high-temperature brake lubricant for smooth operation.
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 without allowing the brakes to cool. Avoid coming to a complete stop if possible.
- Next, do 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in rapid succession. You might notice a resin smell as the brakes heat up.
- Finally, drive your vehicle for about 5 minutes at a moderate speed without excessive braking to allow the brakes to cool.
Remember, never cool your brakes with water, as this could damage them.
Fitment
- Compatible with Volkswagen Beetle models from 2000 to 2010.
