What is the main benefit of the Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit over stock brakes?

This kit offers improved stopping power thanks to the combination of carbon-fiber ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors. It also significantly reduces brake dust and provides better resistance to rust and corrosion.

Do I need any special tools or modifications to install this kit?

No, this kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for your stock brakes. It includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware for installation, meaning no modifications are required.

How does the low-dust feature of the pads work?

The carbon-fiber ceramic compound used in the Z23 pads is specifically formulated to create less friction material dust compared to traditional ceramic pads. This helps keep your wheels cleaner for longer.

Product Details

The Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit from Power Stop is designed to give your 1998-2003 Subaru Forester a noticeable boost in stopping power. This kit includes everything you need for a straightforward bolt-on installation, replacing your stock components with parts engineered to work together for improved performance and a cleaner look. The carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads are formulated to produce significantly less dust than standard pads, helping to keep your wheels looking sharp.

The kit pairs these advanced pads with drilled and slotted rotors. The drilling and slotting help dissipate heat and gases, which means more consistent braking performance, especially during harder stops. The rotors are also zinc-plated to resist rust and corrosion, adding to their durability. Multi-layer rubberized shims are incorporated into the pads to help ensure quiet operation, so you get improved braking without added noise.

This is a complete kit, meaning it comes with the necessary stainless-steel hardware for installation, making it a convenient way to upgrade your daily driver's braking system. It's designed as a direct replacement for your factory brakes, so no modifications are needed to install it.
