Overview
The Power Stop KC1781 is a 1-Click Performance Brake Kit with calipers for the front axle, bundling rotors, red calipers and pads in a single part number.
Power Stop describes its brake kits as a complete set of cross-drilled and slotted rotors, red powder coated calipers and Z23 Evolution Sport Carbon Fiber and Ceramic pads. The idea behind a kit like KC1781 is that the parts are matched, so a worn front brake can be refreshed in one go.
Each caliper is remanufactured, lubricated and pressure tested at the Chicago, IL facility. The kit is a direct fit with vented rotors and aftermarket calipers in a natural color.
Because the rotors, calipers and pads are matched as a set, using old hardware alongside them reduces the benefit of the kit. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.

Installing a caliper kit
A caliper kit replaces the complete front brake corner in one job, which avoids mixing an older caliper with fresh pads. Work on one corner at a time so the opposite side remains a reference during reassembly.
Once the new calipers are fitted, the hydraulic circuit has been opened and air can enter. Bleed the front brakes until the pedal is firm and no bubbles appear. Test the pedal at low speed before normal driving.
Brake pads fitted with this kit should be bedded in gently. Moderate stops transfer an even layer of friction material to the rotors and help prevent noise and vibration.
- Torque caliper bolts to the vehicle’s specification
- Check hose fittings for leaks after bleeding
- Inspect the rotor hat for cracks before mounting

Vehicle fitment
No vehicle, year or model is named for KC1781. It is described only as a direct fit for the front brakes, so there is no fitment list to quote here. Power Stop’s own application guide is the place to confirm which vehicles it supports.
Front brakes only. Verify your vehicle’s year, model and trim before buying.
Installation notes
With rotors, calipers and pads all being swapped, the old front brake hardware comes off as a set. The caliper change opens the brake circuit, so bleed the system and verify pedal feel before driving.
