Power Stop 14-16 Mazda 3 Rear Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit

If you're looking to give your 2014-2016 Mazda 3 a noticeable boost in stopping performance for your daily drives, this Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is a solid choice. It bundles everything you need to replace your rear rotors and pads in one go, making it a straightforward way to improve your car's braking power and keep your wheels cleaner.

This kit pairs PowerStop's Z23 Evolution Sport carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads with drilled and slotted rotors. The carbon-fiber ceramic compound is designed to offer better stopping power than standard ceramic pads, and third-party tests show it produces about 30% less dust, meaning fewer brake dust streaks on your wheels. The rotors themselves are drilled and slotted to help keep them cool during hard braking and to clear out dust and gas, while a zinc plating helps protect them from rust and corrosion. Everything is designed to work together as a system for improved performance and durability.

You get the rotors, pads, and all the necessary stainless-steel hardware to make this a bolt-on upgrade, meaning no modifications are needed to install it on your stock setup. The pads also feature multi-layer rubberized shims to help keep braking quiet. It’s a complete package aimed at giving your daily driver an easy and affordable brake upgrade.
