The DBA DBA2960S Street Series T2 Slotted Brake Rotor delivers enhanced braking performance for daily drivers seeking an upgrade over factory rotors without the expense of premium track-focused components. Engineered by Disc Brakes Australia with over four decades of manufacturing expertise, this front brake rotor combines advanced materials and innovative design features to provide superior stopping power and longevity.
Patented Kangaroo Paw Ventilation Technology:
DBA's exclusive Kangaroo Paw ventilation system utilizes 144 diamond and teardrop-patterned pillars between the rotor faces to dramatically improve cooling efficiency. This advanced design increases heat dissipation by up to 20% compared to conventional vented rotors, reducing brake fade during demanding driving conditions while providing additional structural support to the friction surfaces.
Bi-Symmetrical T2 Slot Design:
- Precision CNC-machined curved slots dampen vibration harmonics, resulting in quieter operation and smoother brake pedal feel
- Non-directional slot pattern eliminates the need for left and right specific rotors, simplifying installation
- Multiple exit points efficiently evacuate brake dust, gases, and moisture from the pad contact area
- Promotes even pad wear and minimizes pad glazing for consistent braking performance
- Enhanced pad bite improves initial brake response
Premium Construction and Protection:
- Manufactured from high-quality cast iron alloy that exceeds OEM specifications
- EnShield zinc-aluminum coating protects non-friction surfaces from corrosion throughout the rotor's service life
- Black high-temperature coating on the hat and edge maintains appearance
- CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machine finish on friction surfaces ensures optimal pad break-in
- Rigorous quality control testing ensures dimensional accuracy and balance
Performance Benefits:
The DBA2960S rotor typically outlasts standard replacement rotors by a factor of two, making it an excellent value for drivers of heavy-use street vehicles. The T2 slot design provides a noticeable upgrade in braking feel and performance while remaining quiet enough for daily commuting. This rotor represents an ideal middle ground between basic OE replacement and expensive track-focused options.
Installation Notes:
Clean rotors thoroughly before installation using appropriate brake parts cleaner applied to a cloth (not directly on the rotor) to remove protective coating. Wipe in circular motions around the friction surface. Proper bedding-in procedures should be followed to achieve optimal performance and longevity.
DBA manufactures all rotors above OEM standards as a minimum requirement, ensuring this safety-critical component meets the highest quality benchmarks for reliable performance in all driving conditions.
