What is the benefit of the drilled and slotted pattern on these rotors?

The drilled holes and slots help to vent gases and heat away from the brake pad and rotor surface. This can lead to more consistent braking performance, especially under load, and can help prevent brake fade.

Do these rotors come with a pair or just one?

Brake rotors are typically sold individually. For a complete brake job on the front axle, you will need to purchase two of these DBA 654X-10 rotors.

What does the 'XGold' finish mean?

The XGold designation indicates that the rotor features the Street Series X design with a premium gold finish on the hub and vane areas. This gold coating helps prevent rust and corrosion on those parts of the rotor, maintaining a cleaner appearance.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to give your 2003-2014 Subaru Impreza, 2015-2016 WRX STI, or 2017-2018/2020 BRZ a more performance-oriented look and feel, these front brake rotors from DBA are a solid option. They feature a unique drill and slot pattern designed to help manage heat and keep your brakes working consistently, especially during spirited driving or when you need reliable stopping power.

DBA calls this their Street Series XGold rotor. The cross-drilled holes and slots aren't just for looks; they help vent gases and heat away from the braking surface, which can lead to more stable performance and a longer rotor life compared to plain rotors. The uni-directional design means they're installed in a specific direction to optimize the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, which is DBA's way of improving airflow through the rotor. The gold finish on the hub area adds a nice touch, preventing rust and giving your wheels a cleaner appearance.

These rotors are a direct replacement for your stock front rotors, making installation straightforward. They're a well-built choice for drivers who want an upgrade that offers both improved aesthetics and functional benefits for everyday driving.
