Z23 Evolution Sport Performance Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Front Brake Pads (Z23-1294) by PowerStop®. PowerStop’s Evolution carbon-ceramic pad formula uses OE positive mold technology to ensure a uniform friction density throughout the pad. This helps control noise and premature wear. Carbon Fiber/Ceramic Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Pads resist fade up to much higher temperatures than OEM pads. Ceramic brake lubricant is included in every brake pad set.
