Construction & Design:

The PowerStop Z17 Evolution kit is engineered with durability and reliability in mind. The rotors are precision-machined from high-grade cast iron and coated with a thin layer of Genuine GEOMET 360. This advanced coating protects the rotor surface from rust and corrosion without compromising braking efficiency or heat dissipation. The ceramic brake pads are crafted from a proprietary low-dust formula that balances stopping power with minimal wear on rotors and wheels.

Multi-layer rubberized shims on the pads act as an effective noise insulator, preventing common brake squeal and vibration. Stainless-steel hardware included in the kit ensures a secure fit and resists corrosion, contributing to the overall longevity of the brake system.

Performance & Sound

The Z17 Evolution pads provide consistent, reliable braking performance suitable for everyday driving conditions. Their low-dust composition helps maintain wheel appearance, while the noise-dampening shims deliver virtually silent braking. This combination results in a smooth and quiet driving experience, free from the common annoyances of brake dust buildup and squealing noises.
