What makes the Kangaroo Paw ventilation system different?

The Kangaroo Paw system uses 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars instead of traditional straight vanes. This design increases the rotor's surface area by up to 30% and improves cooling efficiency by 20%, helping to dissipate heat more effectively.

What is Thermal Stability Profiling?

Thermal Stability Profiling is a heat treatment process applied to the rotor after casting. It helps the high carbon alloyed iron handle increased stress and heat generated during braking, improving the rotor's overall durability and performance under load.

Do I need to buy these rotors in pairs?

Yes, it is highly recommended to replace brake rotors in pairs on the same axle. This ensures even braking performance and prevents uneven wear or potential issues with your braking system.

Product Details

DBA is known for making well-built brake components that stand up to tough use. If you're working on your 1993-2007 Subaru Impreza, Forester, or Saab 9-2X and need to replace the rear brake rotors, this 4000 Series HD rotor from DBA is a solid option. It's designed to handle the extra heat and stress that comes with harder braking, making it a good choice for daily drivers who sometimes push their cars a bit.

This rotor uses DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. Instead of straight vanes, it has 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars. This design increases the surface area by up to 30% and improves cooling efficiency by 20% over standard rotors. This means the rotor can dissipate heat better, which helps prevent brake fade during extended braking periods. The casting is made from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, which is known for its ability to handle increased stress and heat, and it's treated with Thermal Stability Profiling to further enhance its durability under load. This particular rotor has a smooth, OE-style finish, so it looks like a stock replacement while offering improved performance.

This is the rear rotor for your vehicle. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm it's the right part for your specific model and year. Replacing rotors is often done in pairs, so consider getting two for the rear axle.
