GUIDE

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.

Motorsport Warranty StatementWhile we promote our product for use in motorsport

applications, our warranty will not apply in relation

to use of the product for any form of motorsport or

speed trial.

The main reason we cannot warrant the product

be subjected to many variables that are not within

our control (such as vehicle modifications, i.e.

wheels, tires, suspension).

DBA cannot be held responsible for fitment, wear and

tear and lack of maintenance of the braking system

or in situations that will take the materials used to

manufacture our product beyond the design limits

for extended periods of time.

This by no means detracts from the quality of the
