Why Choose the Z23 Evolution Kit?

Say goodbye to generic brake components! The Z23 Evolution Kit is not just about better performance; it’s about a complete package that includes:

Break-In Procedure

To get the most out of your new brake system, follow this break-in procedure:

  • Start with 5 moderate to aggressive stops from 40 mph down to 10 mph without letting the brakes cool.
  • Next, perform 5 moderate stops from 35 mph to 5 mph in quick succession.
  • Afterward, drive at moderate speed for about 5 minutes to allow the brakes to cool naturally.
  • Never cool your brakes with water, as this can damage them.
