What is the benefit of the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system?

The Kangaroo Paw ventilation uses 144 diamond and teardrop pillars to increase surface area and improve cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional straight vane designs. This helps dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade.

Does this rotor come with any hardware?

This product is for the brake rotor only. Installation hardware, such as lug nuts or brake pads, is typically sold separately. Refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for a complete list of required components.

How does the T3 slotting differ from other slot designs?

The T3 slot design is bi-directional and specifically engineered to help sweep away brake dust and gases from the pad surface. This ensures a cleaner contact patch and more consistent braking performance, especially during demanding use.

About this part

Product Details

The XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron used in this DBA 4000 Series T3 rotor is a key detail for handling the heat and stress of spirited driving. This material, combined with DBA's Thermal Stability Profiling process, helps the rotor withstand increased demands without warping. For your 2001-2005 Mazda Miata, especially the 2004-2005 models with the MazdaSpeed turbo, consistent braking performance is crucial.

DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system is a standout feature here. Instead of standard straight vanes, it uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars. This design significantly increases the surface area and improves cooling efficiency by up to 20% over traditional rotors, which means better heat dissipation and more reliable stopping power when you need it most. The T3 bi-directional slotting further aids in clearing dust and gas from the braking surface, ensuring a consistent grip.

As a direct replacement rotor, installation should be straightforward, fitting right onto your Miata's rear axle. These rotors are well-built and designed to handle the extra heat generated by performance driving, offering a solid upgrade for your braking system.
