Product Description

The PowerStop KOE2963 Autospecialty front brake kit is designed as a direct OE replacement for daily drivers of Audi Q3, Volkswagen Passat, and Volkswagen Tiguan models produced between 2009 and 2020. Equipped with Z17 Evolution Plus ceramic pads and mill-balanced Autospecialty rotors, this kit delivers quiet, low-dust braking performance and factory-level fit.

Installation is straightforward with included stainless steel hardware, abutment clips, and high-temperature ceramic lubricant. Thermal scorch-treated pad surfaces reduce the break-in period for better initial brake response. Rubberized shims help maintain smooth and vibration-free operation under normal commuting conditions.

Fitment is confirmed for 2009-2020 only. Coverage beyond those years and up to 2025 is unconfirmed at time of listing.
