Product Description

The PowerStop K8183 is a Z23 Evolution Sport front brake kit designed for the 2019-2023 Ram 1500 (DT platform, excluding TRX and Classic models). This complete front kit pairs Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads with drilled and slotted zinc-plated rotors for a significant improvement in braking performance over factory components. The carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic pad formula delivers fade-free stopping power with a low-dust formulation that keeps wheels cleaner -- validated through third-party on-vehicle testing showing approximately 30% less dust than OE pads. Dual-layer rubberized shims provide virtually noise-free braking for comfortable daily driving.

The front rotors are cast from G3000 iron, precision machined to 0.0032" maximum run-out and 0.0005" maximum DTV, then mill balanced for smooth, vibration-free operation. The drilled holes maximize rotor cooling during heavy braking while the slots clear gas, debris, and water for consistent pad contact. Silver zinc plating protects against rust and corrosion for a clean appearance behind open wheels. The kit includes all stainless steel mounting hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant for a complete bolt-on installation with no modifications. Proper break-in procedure is critical -- follow PowerStop's pad bedding guidelines. For a heavier-duty towing and hauling application, see the Z36 Truck & Tow version K8183-36. Backed by PowerStop's 3-year / 36,000-mile warranty.
