Power Stop 14-18 Mazda 3 Front Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit

If you're looking to give your 2016-2021 Mazda CX-3 a noticeable boost in stopping power, this Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit from PowerStop is a solid option. It's designed as a direct, bolt-on replacement for your stock brakes, meaning you won't need to make any modifications to install it. This kit bundles together everything you need to get the job done, including the pads, rotors, and premium stainless-steel hardware.

The heart of this kit is the Z23 Evolution Sport compound brake pads, made with carbon-fiber ceramic. They're formulated to offer improved braking performance over standard ceramic pads and have been tested to produce about 30% less dust, which helps keep your wheels cleaner. These pads work in tandem with the drilled and slotted rotors. The drilling and slotting help dissipate heat and gases, keeping the brakes cooler and ensuring consistent performance, while the zinc plating on the rotors offers good protection against rust and corrosion.

This kit is a complete package designed to work together, so you get a balanced upgrade for your daily driver. It includes multi-layer rubberized shims on the pads to help reduce noise, making for a quieter ride. You'll also find high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included, which is helpful during installation.
