Disc Brakes Australia is an Australian-owned manufacturer
of high performance disc rotors – internationally recognized for
innovation and expertise in the brake industry. The company manufactures
high performance rotors to industry-leading standards and certification
(ISO 9001 and TUV). DBA’s attention to detail, commitment to braking
technology, innovation, and customer focus makes the role of the retailer
and technician easier, and ensures ultimate performance, quality and
security to every road user.
DBA’s performance range of disc rotors features the patented “Kangaroo Paw”
ventilation design, Which is a major advance for brake rotor technology. This
patented ventilation design increases disc rotor efficiency by up to 20 percent
compared to conventional rotor designs.
DBA introduces the new T2 and T3 precision slot patterns
on their award-winning high performance disc rotors.
The increased number of out-gassing exit points for
brake pad friction gasses to escape provides consistent
and effective braking.
Bi-Symmetrical curved slots dampen the vibration
harmonics and noise while providing a smoother, quieter
and more responsive pedal feel.
Tri-Symmetrical curved slots dampen vibrations,
harmonics and noise resulting in a smoother, quieter
and more responsive pedal feel. The increased number of
slots offer additional out-gassing points which increase
the consistency and effectiveness of every stop.
• Clears gasses, heat and debris from the rotor face
• Reduces vibration and harmonics
• Eliminates the need for left and right discs
New!T2 and T3 Universal Slot Pattern
Strategically distributed number of small slots.
DBA’s performance range of disc rotors features
the hi-tech patented Kangaroo Paw® ventilation
system – 144 diamond and teardrop shaped pillars and
columns, individually spaced between the rotor faces.
The pillars provide greater strength and surface area,
increasing heat dissipation.
Thermal Stability Profiling
The unique process of Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP)
enhances the microstructure of the disc rotor allowing
the disc to take more heat and maintain stability under
heavy braking. TSP improves rotor and pad life.
DBA Manufacturing WarrantyDBA will guarantee any product found to be faulty in workmanship or materials within 12 months from
the date of purchase or 12,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Maximum cooling, reduced wheel bearing fatigue, warpage, runout and brake fade.
Thermo-Graphic Temperature Monitoring
Thermo-Graphic paint markings that change color at specific
temperature thresholds. By monitoring the markings, drivers
can check their braking performance quickly and easily.
Specially Formulated XG-150 Cast Iron
DBA’s cast iron material is specifically
formulated for high heat absorption and dissipation critical
for effective braking during spirited driving.
Universal Slot Pattern
Strategically distributed slots move gas, heat, water
and debris away from the surface of the rotor.
Mill Balanced
Each disc is mill balanced to minimize
or eliminate vibration and reduce wheel
bearing wear and potential suspension failure.
Direct Replacement
Direct replacement for factory rotor.
No caliper relocation or brackets required.
Anti-Corrosion Coating
Each disc is painted with a high temperature
engine enamel to resist corrosion.
The warranty does not extend to faults or failure caused by ordinary wear and tear, misuse, use of the product for any form of motorsport or speed trial, incorrect fitting, use of incorrect or defective associated component parts, or any cause not related to a defect in design or manufacturing.

DBA introduces the all new 4x4 Survival Series™ Brake rotors. These enhanced
performance rotors address one of the most overlooked road safety issues:
the stopping performance of four-wheel drives. Braking performance is defined
by DBA as more than just reducing braking distance, but also includes: quicker
stopping and improved pedal feel, even pad wear, reduced fade and cooler
running for better durability. Drivers of 4WDs or SUVs can improve safety and
driving enjoyment by taking advantage of the greater stopping power and more
consistent performance of the DBA Survival Series™ Brake rotors.
