Product Line Details
The PowerStop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kit is positioned for daily-driver use, combining pad and rotor upgrades in one application-specific package. For the rear axle, K1563 uses carbon-fiber ceramic pads with slotted and drilled rotors to support consistent braking performance while helping reduce visible brake dust on the wheels.
Detailed Description
PowerStop K1563 is a rear brake service kit for drivers who want a straightforward upgrade over standard replacement parts. The carbon-fiber ceramic pad compound is paired with drilled and slotted vented rotors to help dissipate heat and maintain a smooth braking surface. This setup is well suited to rear brake service on 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette rear, 2005-2009 Chevrolet Corvette rear, 2010-2011 Chevrolet Corvette rear except Magnetic Ride Control, 2012-2013 Chevrolet Corvette rear with standard brakes and JL9 RPO code, and 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR rear.
This part number, K1563, is built around the Z23 Daily Driver formula for owners who want a cleaner wheel appearance and a more controlled brake feel without changing the vehicle’s original rear brake location. K1563 is a practical choice for Corvette rear brake replacement and Cadillac XLR rear brake replacement where the listed fitment matches the vehicle configuration.
What It Helps Address
- Brake dust buildup on rear wheels
- Heat-related brake fade during normal street driving
- Uneven or worn rear brake pad and rotor surfaces
- Corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
- Reduced braking consistency from aging rear brake components
