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

The cross-drilled holes and slots work together to help vent brake pad friction dust and hot gases away from the rotor surface. This can lead to improved and more consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use.

What is the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system?

The Kangaroo Paw is DBA's patented internal ventilation design. It uses a series of pillars to help dissipate heat more effectively than traditional straight-vane rotors, which can reduce the risk of brake fade.

Does this rotor come with a pair or is it sold individually?

This listing is for a single front brake rotor. For a complete front brake job, you will need to purchase two rotors.

About this part

Product Details

The DBA 4000 Series XS Gold rotor starts with a high-carbon, heat-treated iron casting, giving it a solid foundation for consistent performance. This rotor is specifically designed as a direct replacement for your 2003-2005 Mazda 6, making installation straightforward. The unique cross-drilled and slotted pattern isn't just for looks; it helps to vent brake pad dust and gases away from the friction surface, which can lead to more reliable stopping power, especially during spirited driving or repeated braking events.

DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system is integrated into this rotor, which is a notable design choice that helps manage heat more effectively than standard ventilation. This improved heat dissipation can help prevent brake fade and keep your brakes performing at their best. The gold finish on the rotor hub adds a touch of visual appeal while also offering some protection against corrosion in that specific area.
