What is the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system?

The Kangaroo Paw is DBA's patented ventilation design. It uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars inside the rotor to increase surface area and improve cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional straight vane rotors.

What material are these rotors made from?

These rotors are cast from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron. This material is chosen for its ability to handle the increased stress and heat generated during intense braking applications.

Do these rotors come with hardware?

This product listing is for the brake rotors only. Installation hardware, such as lug nuts or brake pad hardware kits, is typically sold separately.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to replace the front brake rotors on your Audi A3, Volkswagen GTI, or many other compatible vehicles, consider these DBA 4000 Series HD rotors. They are designed to handle the extra stress and heat that comes with harder braking, offering a solid option for drivers who want improved performance over stock without a radical change in appearance.

These rotors are cast from XG-150 high carbon alloy iron, a well-built material that can stand up to increased heat. They also feature DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. Instead of standard straight vanes, this design uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars. This unique pattern increases the surface area by up to 30% and improves cooling efficiency by 20% compared to traditional designs, helping to keep your brakes from overheating during spirited driving or repeated stops.

The 4000 Series HD variant offers a smooth, OE-style finish, making it a popular choice for those who want the performance benefits of a DBA rotor but prefer a factory look. This makes them suitable for controlled race divisions or simply for drivers who want a clean, understated appearance.
