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

The drilled holes and slots help to vent brake pad dust, gases, and heat away from the rotor surface. This leads to more consistent braking performance and can help prevent brake fade during hard stops.

What material are these DBA rotors made from?

These rotors are constructed from high-carbon iron that has been heat-treated. This combination is chosen for its strength and ability to withstand the high temperatures generated during braking.

Do these rotors come as a pair or individually?

The product listing is for a single front rotor. For a complete front brake job, you will need to order two rotors.

About this part

Product Details

DBA is known for making well-built brake components, and their 4000 Series XS Gold rotors are a prime example. If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your 1997-2012 Chevrolet Corvette, these front rotors are a solid choice. They're designed as a direct replacement, making installation straightforward.

These rotors use a high-carbon, heat-treated iron for durability. The unique drill and slot pattern, combined with DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, helps to dissipate brake pad dust and gases more effectively. This means you get more consistent stopping power, especially during harder braking. The gold finish on the rotor hub adds a nice touch, setting them apart from standard replacement parts.
