The DBA 4000 Series XS DBA42029XS is a high-performance drilled and slotted brake rotor designed for drivers seeking upgraded braking performance beyond standard OE levels. This single-piece cast rotor combines stopping power, thermal stability, and extended service life for demanding applications including performance street vehicles, SUVs, towing, and light track day use.
Advanced Cooling Technology:
- Patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system features 144 diamond and teardrop-patterned pillars that increase cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to conventional straight-vane rotors
- Non-directional cross-drilled and slotted design maximizes heat dissipation while allowing gas and debris evacuation
- Enhanced surface area provides superior thermal management under sustained heavy braking
Premium Materials and Construction:
- Cast from XG-150 high-carbon alloyed iron for increased thermal capacity and durability
- Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) heat treatment process relieves internal stresses and optimizes material structure for maximum thermal stability
- Non-directional XS design eliminates the need for left and right specific rotors
- Protective coating on hub and non-friction surfaces prevents corrosion
Thermo-Graphic Heat Paint Monitoring:
Includes thermal indicating paint markings on the rotor edge that change color at critical temperature thresholds (green, orange, and red). This allows drivers to monitor peak rotor temperatures, optimize pad selection, and make informed decisions about their braking system performance.
Performance Benefits:
- Improved stopping power and pedal feel compared to standard rotors
- Reduced brake fade during high-stress applications
- Keeps brake pads cleaner through slotting design
- Extended service life - lasts significantly longer than most competitive rotors
- Enhanced appearance with drilled and slotted pattern
Ideal for enthusiasts, weekend track warriors, performance vehicle owners, and anyone seeking the highest quality one-piece cast rotor design. Sold individually. Backed by manufacturer's warranty.
