DBA DBA782X Street Series X Gold Drilled & Slotted Disc Brake Rotor

The DBA DBA782X Street Series X Gold is a premium cross-drilled and slotted disc brake rotor engineered by Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) as a direct OE replacement upgrade for daily drivers seeking improved street performance. The "X" suffix designates DBA's X Gold design — a non-directional cross-drilled and slotted configuration finished with a distinctive gold-painted hub.

X Gold Cross-Drilled & Slotted Design:

• Non-directional drilling and slotting — eliminates the need for dedicated left/right fitment, simplifying installation
• Cross-drilled holes and slots work together to maximize exit points for brake pad friction dust and gases, resulting in improved pad bite and more consistent braking performance
• Reduces brake fade by rapidly evacuating heat-generating gases from the rotor surface
• Promotes even pad wear and helps prevent glazing of pad surfaces

DBA Engineering Advantages:

• Patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation — DBA's proprietary bi-directional vane design delivers up to 20% better heat dissipation compared to conventional directional vanes, extending rotor and pad life
• CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machine-turned finish — minimizes disc thickness variation and reduces the potential for pad knock and premature wear
• Centre-split core castings for increased heat transfer and thermal efficiency
• Gold high-temperature hub coating provides excellent corrosion protection on non-friction areas and a clean, finished appearance
• Manufactured to above-OEM standards at DBA's own foundry for consistent, controlled quality

The DBA782X is benchmarked for use with DBA Street Series or DBA Street Performance brake pads. Recommended for daily drivers, light commercial vehicles, and SUV applications where an upgrade in braking feel, heat management, and aesthetics is desired over a standard OE rotor.
