What makes the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system different?

DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation uses a unique pattern of 144 diamond and teardrop pillars instead of standard straight vanes. This design increases surface area and improves cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional rotors, helping to manage heat under heavy braking.

What is Thermal Stability Profiling?

Thermal Stability Profiling is a heat treatment process applied to the rotor. It helps the cast iron handle the increased stress and heat generated during intense braking applications, contributing to the rotor's durability and consistent performance.

Does this rotor come with hardware or brake pads?

This product listing is for a single rear brake rotor only. Brake pads and any necessary installation hardware are typically sold separately and should be checked for compatibility.

About this part

Product Details

This is a single rear brake rotor from DBA's 4000 Series HD line. It's designed to replace your stock rear rotor with an OE-style finish, making it a popular choice for drivers who want improved braking performance without changing the look of their wheels. This rotor is built from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, which is known for its ability to handle the extra stress and heat that comes with harder braking.

What really sets this rotor apart is DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. Instead of standard straight vanes, it uses a pattern of 144 diamond and teardrop pillars. This design increases the surface area and improves cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional rotors. This means better heat dissipation, which helps prevent brake fade during spirited driving or repeated stops. The rotor also undergoes Thermal Stability Profiling, a process that helps ensure its stability under high temperatures.

This rotor fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Volkswagen GTI, Audi S3, and Volkswagen Atlas. It's a solid option if you're looking to upgrade your rear braking system with a well-built component that offers improved thermal management and a factory-like appearance.
