What is the main benefit of the drilled and slotted rotors in this kit?

The drilled holes in the rotors help to vent heat away from the braking surface, which reduces the chance of brake fade. The slots help to sweep away brake dust and gases, ensuring consistent contact between the pad and rotor for reliable stopping power.

Are these brake pads dusty?

The Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit features carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads with a low-dust formula. This means they are designed to produce less brake dust compared to many standard pads, helping to keep your wheels looking cleaner.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this kit is designed to be a complete upgrade. It includes the front and rear brake pads, front and rear drilled and slotted rotors, and premium stainless-steel hardware to assist with installation.

Product Details

The Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop uses carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, a material known for its ability to handle heat and provide a consistent bite. This kit is designed to be a straightforward, bolt-on replacement for your Ram 4500 or 5500, making it an accessible way to improve your truck's stopping power without needing specialized tools or extensive modifications.

Each kit includes both front and rear components, featuring drilled and slotted rotors. The drilling helps dissipate heat, preventing brake fade during heavy use, while the slots help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor. This combination works to keep your braking performance steady and reliable, even under demanding conditions. The carbon-fiber ceramic pads are also formulated to produce less dust than traditional pads, helping to keep your wheels cleaner between washes.

Included with the pads and rotors is premium stainless-steel hardware, ensuring that all the necessary pieces for a clean installation are right there in the box. This attention to detail means you can get your truck back on the road with improved braking confidence, knowing you've got a well-built system designed for daily driving performance.
