Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) Rotors bolt right onto your vehicle with no mechanical changes. Thermo-Graphic markings are placed on the outer edge of all DBA 4000 and 5000 series disc rotors and are used to monitor core temperatures achieved during braking application. Markings change color as the rotor begins to heat up, alerting the driver to rotor temperatures that exceed optimum levels.
Also helping with heat management is the latest technological patent from DBA, the "Kangaroo Paw" ventilation system. The Kangaroo Paw design allows
more air to flow through the vents on the rotor, resulting in cooler operating temperatures to minimize distortion.
The ''Kangaroo Paw'' is designed with a series of 144 diamond- and tear drop-shaped pillars and columns individually spaced between the rotor faces.
