What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors?

The drilled holes and slots increase the number of exit points for brake dust and gases. This helps keep the rotor surface cleaner and cooler, which can lead to more consistent braking performance, especially during normal street driving.

Does this rotor come with a pair or just one?

Brake rotors are typically sold individually, but are designed to be installed in pairs. You will need to order two rotors for the front axle of your vehicle.

What is the gold finish on the rotor hub for?

The gold finish on the rotor hub is primarily for aesthetics, giving the rotor a premium look. It does not affect the braking performance of the rotor itself.

About this part

Product Details

These DBA XGold Series brake rotors feature a unique combination of drilled holes and slots on the braking surface. This design offers more exit points for brake pad friction dust and gases to escape, which can lead to more consistent braking performance. The XGold rotor also includes a gold finish on the hub for a premium look, making it a popular choice for vehicles where appearance is a consideration.

The drilled and slotted pattern helps keep the rotor surface cleaner and cooler under normal driving conditions. While these rotors are designed for street use, the open design allows for better gas and dust evacuation compared to a standard blank rotor. This can translate to a more reliable feel during everyday driving and occasional spirited use.

This set is specifically for the front of your vehicle. DBA rotors are a solid option if you're looking to replace your stock front rotors with something that offers improved performance and a distinct look.
