What is the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system?

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

Do these rotors come with hardware?

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

What is the difference between the 4000 Series HD and other DBA rotors?

The 4000 Series HD features a high-carbon iron casting and the Kangaroo Paw ventilation for improved performance and cooling. The 'HD' designation specifically indicates a smooth, OE-style finish, making it suitable for applications where a factory look is desired alongside enhanced braking capabilities.

Product Details

When you're looking to replace the front brake rotors on your 1998-2002 Subaru Impreza RS, or other compatible vehicles, the DBA 4000 Series HD rotors offer a solid upgrade. These rotors are designed to handle the extra heat and stress that comes with harder braking, making them a popular choice for drivers who want more consistent stopping power.

Cast from XG-150 high-carbon alloyed iron, these rotors are built to withstand increased temperatures. They feature DBA's unique Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, which uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars. This design increases the surface area by up to 30% and improves cooling efficiency by 20% compared to standard straight vane rotors. The smooth, OE-style finish makes them a good option if you prefer a factory look while still getting the performance benefits of the 4000 Series.

This rotor fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Subaru models like the Forester, Legacy, and Outback, as well as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. They are sold individually, so be sure to order two for the front axle.
