What is the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system?

The Kangaroo Paw ventilation system uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars inside the rotor. This design increases surface area and cooling efficiency compared to traditional straight vane rotors, helping to manage heat during hard braking.

What is the difference between this rotor and a standard brake rotor?

This rotor is made from a high-carbon alloyed iron and features the advanced Kangaroo Paw ventilation system for improved cooling. It also undergoes Thermal Stability Profiling to better handle the heat and stress of intense braking applications.

Does this rotor come with hardware?

This product listing is for a single DBA 4000 Series HD front brake rotor. Brake hardware, such as mounting bolts or clips, is typically sold separately. Please refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for any required hardware.

About this part

Product Details

This is a single DBA 4000 Series HD front brake rotor. It's cast from high-carbon XG-150 iron and goes through a Thermal Stability Profiling process, which helps it handle the extra heat and stress from hard braking. This rotor is designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the 1998-2001 Acura Integra, 1998-2001 Honda CR-V, and 1998-2001 Honda Prelude.

What sets this rotor apart is DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. Instead of standard straight vanes, it uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars. This design increases the surface area and improves cooling efficiency by up to 20% compared to traditional rotors, helping to prevent brake fade during demanding use. The 4000 Series HD variant offers a smooth, OE-style finish, making it a popular choice for drivers who want the performance benefits of the 4000 Series but prefer a factory look, especially for controlled race divisions.
