Power Stop Front and Rear Z17 Evolution Brake Kit - Low Dust, Coated

Our review of the Power Stop Z17 Evolution brake kit finds it best suited for owners of full-size GM trucks and SUVs who want a straightforward, OEM-style replacement that reduces wheel dust and resists corrosion. The single biggest reason to buy is the matched pairing of Z17 Clean Ride ceramic pads and fully GEOMET coated rotors, which together help keep wheels cleaner while delivering reliable stopping power without extra noise. The kit also includes hardware and high temperature lubricant so a full axle swap can be completed without chasing parts.

Key Features

• Complete kit: The kit includes matched front and rear rotors, Z17 ceramic pads, stainless steel installation hardware, and high temperature lubricant so an install can be completed without extra purchases.
• GEOMET coated rotors: Rotors are fully coated, including inside the vanes, to reduce surface rust and preserve the new-appearance finish behind open wheels.
• Low dust ceramic pads: The Z17 Clean Ride ceramic compound produces minimal wheel dust in normal use, validated by on-vehicle 3rd party tests in the USA.
• Engineered compatibility: Pads, rotors and hardware are matched to work together to improve stopping power and maintain quiet operation.
• Hardware and lubricant included: Stainless steel installation hardware and high temperature ceramic lubricant are supplied to simplify installation and help long term performance.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe and GMC Sierra 1500 or Yukon models who want a direct-fit, full-vehicle brake kit that mimics OEM performance while reducing dust and surface rust. It is especially useful for DIY mechanics who prefer to do both front and rear service at once and appreciate receiving all required hardware.

Those who need extreme track-focused friction compounds or who expect perfect rust immunity in very harsh climates should look elsewhere; GEOMET coating improves corrosion resistance but customers report mixed results in aggressive salt or severe coastal exposure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Matched pad and rotor design gives confident, OEM-like stopping power and low noise.
• Fully GEOMET coated rotors, including vanes, help preserve appearance behind open wheels.
• Complete contents and included hardware make the job simple for DIY installs and save time sourcing parts.

Cons

• Rust resistance is improved but not guaranteed in all environments; some users still report corrosion over time.

Our Verdict

The Power Stop Z17 Evolution kit is a practical, value-oriented choice for owners wanting an OEM-style brake refresh that reduces dust and helps preserve rotor appearance. It is a good choice for DIYers and garages doing full-vehicle service, offering matched parts and complete hardware; those in very corrosive environments should temper expectations about permanent rust prevention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all parts included?
Yes, the kit ships with rotors, Z17 ceramic pads, stainless steel installation hardware and high temperature ceramic lubricant.

Will these eliminate all brake dust?
The Z17 Clean Ride ceramic pads produce minimal dust compared with many semi-metallic pads, but some light dusting can still occur depending on driving conditions.

Do the rotors require painting after install?
No; rotors arrive with a genuine GEOMET coating applied, including inside the vanes, so no additional painting is required to protect the visible surfaces.
