The DBA DBA712X is a Street Series X Gold drilled and slotted brake rotor from Disc Brakes Australia (DBA), engineered as a direct OE-replacement upgrade for daily drivers who want improved braking performance and a premium appearance. Built to meet or exceed OEM standards, this rotor delivers reliable stopping power for street use while offering the performance look of a high-end brake component.
The X Gold series features a non-directional cross-drilled and slotted design, which increases the number of exit points across the rotor face. This allows brake pad friction dust and gases to escape more efficiently through both the cross-drilled holes and slots, resulting in more consistent, fade-resistant braking performance. Because the design is non-directional, a single rotor part number serves both left and right applications — no need to purchase handed pairs.
DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system features 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars between the inner and outer rotor faces. This unique geometry increases cooling efficiency compared to conventional vented rotors, lowering rotor temperatures, reducing the risk of rotor warpage, and helping prevent brake fluid boil under hard use.
All non-friction areas are coated with DBA's EnShield zinc/aluminum anti-corrosion protection and finished with an attractive gold high-temperature coating on the hat, providing both lasting appearance and rust resistance. The friction surface is finished using a Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) machine process for a precise, OEM-quality surface.
