Product Description

The PowerStop KC690 Z23 Evolution Sport Front Brake Kit with Calipers is a complete front brake overhaul for the 1996-2005 Honda Civic across all trims and engine variants, and the 2010-2014 Honda Insight hybrid. By packaging Z23 carbon-fiber ceramic pads, cross-drilled slotted rotors, and freshly remanufactured red powder-coated calipers in a single kit, KC690 eliminates the need to source components separately - making it an ideal solution for aging Civic and Insight platforms where the original calipers may be worn, seized, or leaking alongside the pads and rotors.

Installation is a direct bolt-on process requiring no modifications, and the kit includes all stainless-steel hardware and brake lubricant needed to complete the job. The bold red caliper finish resists corrosion and adds a distinctive look behind open wheels. A Caliper Core Buy-Back is available through PowerStop after installation. Backed by a 3-Year / 36,000-Mile limited warranty - a straightforward, comprehensive front brake refresh for one of the most common platforms on the road.
