What's Included
- 2 × Power Stop Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Coated Front Rotors
- 1 × Set of Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Front Brake Pads
Key Features
- Z23 Evolution Sport Pads – Carbon-Fiber Infused Ceramic: Power Stop's Z23 Evolution Sport brake pads use a carbon-fiber infused ceramic compound — delivering increased bite and stopping power over OEM pads while producing significantly less brake dust than OEM or semi-metallic pads. Low dust means cleaner wheels and a cleaner appearance over time
- Drilled & Slotted Rotors – Better Heat Dissipation: Cross-drilled holes and machined slots work together to dissipate heat, gas, and debris from the rotor surface during braking — reducing brake fade under repeated or sustained braking and improving wet-weather braking performance. The drilled and slotted pattern also gives the Mazda 3's wheels a performance appearance upgrade
- Zinc Dichromate Coating – Rust Prevention: All rotors are zinc dichromate coated to prevent rust and corrosion on non-swept rotor surfaces — eliminating the unsightly rust bloom that appears on uncoated rotors within days of installation, keeping the brake system looking clean behind the wheel
- Direct Bolt-On – No Modifications Required: Engineered specifically for the 2004–2013 Mazda 3 (BK and BL chassis) — direct replacement for the factory front brake components with no modifications required. Verify your specific Mazda 3 model year and trim before ordering
- Power Stop Quality: Manufactured by Power Stop — a leading US-based performance brake manufacturer trusted by enthusiasts and daily drivers for quality drilled and slotted brake kits across a wide range of vehicle applications
