DBA4000 Information
Click here to find DBA rotors for your application!
Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) is an Australian owned designer, manufacturer and marketer of disc brake rotors and brake drums which celebrated its 30th year of operation in 2007. It has grown with the market over three full decades, from a time when four-wheel disc were a rarity through to today's almost universal choice of disc brakes front and rear. The company's manufacturing plant is located in Silverwater (Sydney) NSW and has long held QS9000 and ISO9001 quality certification. All castings come from Ajax Foundry next door -- everything is 100% Australian made. With 30 years of experience, one of the industry's most modern factories, and millions of cars around the world fitted with its rotors, you can be assured that DBA has the expertise and facilities to deliver the look, the feel, the quality and the performance to improve any street or race automotive braking system. Kangaroo PawDBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system provides a muchmore efficient method of keeping the rotors cool under the heaviest braking applications. As well as promoting cooler running, the Kangaroo Paw system reduces warping, run-out and vibration. Because conventional ventilation channels are straight, at high temperatures discs can 'balloon' and swell between the vanes. The Kangaroo Paw pillars are evenly spread across the disc face and make the rotor stronger, more stable and more consistent in operation. Click Here to learn more about Kangaroo Paw... Direct ReplacementAll DBA rotors are direct replacement. There is no need to relocate or modify existing calipers, or add brackets. This means the DBA solution is less expensive than other major brake upgrades, yet it will often yield just as impressive a result. TSPAll 4000 and 5000 series discs feature Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP). This proprietary process involves treating the discs in such a way as to remove stresses from the rotor. The combination of TSP and the Kangaroo Paw design has often cured problem vehicles where owners were experiencing warping and disc run-out after only a few thousand miles. Thermo-Graphic Heat Paint
All 4000 and 5000 series rotors have thermo-graphic paint markings, an ideal aid to those who are serious about performance. Applied to the outer diameter of the rotor, this marking system indicates the maximum temperature being reached, providing a guide to whether your braking system is performing to expectations and whether other aspects (such as brake bias) need to be attended to.
Product RangeDBA supplies not only one of the finest replacement rotors, but a full range of enhanced performance brake rotors aimed at automotive/driving enthusiasts. These rotors bring sensational stopping power, purposeful appearance and unique technology that gives them a winning edge on the street or track. Each DBA series range offers a number of special features to suit a variety of applications.
Street series: DBA’s entry level enhanced performance rotor, offering improved braking straight out of the box. Available with slotting to improve pad bite and reduce brake fade (excellent for both performance use and towing) and – in the Gold XS variant – with slotting and cross drilling for maximum cooling and an attractive, aggressive appearance. All rotors are of a directional slotted design to help rapidly expel friction gases.
4000 series: DBA’s mid-series enhanced performance rotor features Thermal Stability Profiling for improved heat handling, Thermo-Graphic paint markings for effective heat monitoring and Kangaroo Paw venitilation design for efficient braking. The 4000 slotted has a unique 6x6 Wiper Slot design for extreme stopping power on road and track. The 4000 XS, with cross-drilling and slotting, is DBA’s premium one-piece rotor for street use.
5000 series: With a two piece design and an AlumaliteTM centre hat, DBA’s 5000 is one of the finest rotors available. The 5000 series rotors are available in different configurations for road and track use, and with a variety of finishes to complement a great looking performance car. Yet, as with every DBA rotor, they bolt straight in with no mechanical changes needed. For the buyer that must have the best, the 5000 is the solution. DBA 5000 series feature the Kangaroo Paw venitilation design for efficient and consistent braking.

Using a series of 144 diamond and tear-drop patterned pillars (or columns) instead of conventional straight cooling vanes, the design increases cooling efficiency by up to 20 per cent when compared with most other ventilated disc rotors.
