Lightbulb Intro: DBA Brake Rotors One Piece and 2 Piece!~!~!~!~!~!~~!







DBA announces the most significant breakthrough in disc brake rotor design for decades.
The new DBA Kangaroo Paw delivers significantly improved braking performance. Even under extreme braking conditions.

The innovative Kangaroo Paw design runs cooler, is stronger, and outperforms traditional straight vane disc rotors.

So what makes it so good?

A car’s braking system is one of the most critical areas in terms of vehicle safety and performance. Being able to stop safely and reliably, time after time, under heavy braking conditions can mean life or death.

Every time the brakes are applied massive pressure is built up through the braking system. A 35Kg force applied at the brake pedal is multiplied hundreds of times before being applied at the disc rotors, creating friction and extreme heat.

Traditional Straight Vane


The extreme heat can cause disc rotors to warp, distort and in some cases fail. Traditionally, heat is removed as air flows through the rotor passing between straight ‘vanes’.

However, the straight vane design does not provide the ideal conditions for heat to be dissipated and tends to create an unwanted ballooning effect.

DBA Kangaroo Paw Vane


The Kangaroo Paw features 144 precisely positioned diamond and tear-drop pillars. More than just making the disc stronger, the pillars provide a greater surface area than traditional straight vane designs. Greater surface area means more effective heat dissipation and cooler running disc rotors. The Kangaroo Paw disc rotors will quickly remove the heat, cool the discs, and return to optimal operating temperatures ready for the next braking application.

Cool air flows in from the centre of the disc, while hot air is forced to the outside of the disc - regardless of rotational direction. The pillars provide greater strength across the disc rotor and reduce the tendency for disc distortion.

More efficient cooling improves brake pad and disc rotor life, and helps reduce brake fade.


DBA 'Heat-Sensitive' markings
on DBA 4000 & 5000 series disc rotors.


Heat-Sensitive’ markings are placed on the outer edge of a disc rotor and are used to monitor the core temperatures that are achieved during braking application.

Because cross/drilled rotors tend to crack under extreme high temps ie from racing!

OE spec

Warranty would only for fittment problems.

No need to be sorry...just wanted to make sure. I thought that is what they would be, but I wasn't 100% on it.

I have the DBA 5000 on the front. I like them. They are very beefy yet quite light - 18.5lbs which saves you ~3lbs per corner of unsprung weight.

How much are the replacement disks on the 2 piece rotors? Will these fit with any brake pads that work with the stock rotors?

First off let me ask if or when are the blue & red hats for the 2-piece rotors shown in the pic's going to be available? I have a BBY and I think either of those colors would look nicer than the black or gold.
Do you have Performance Pads for all 4 corners? If so then what kind(s) do you offer & how much for them?

Could you quote me a deal on:
2-pc Front Black Hat: Slotted + 1-pc Rear Black Hat: Slotted + Pads for all 4 corners shipped to MA 01752...thanks
