DBA Brakes

Street Series is DBA’s road-focused direct-replacement disc range, designed for daily driving, SUVs and light commercial vehicles. Specifications and technologies vary by part number.

• Direct-replacement application
• OE-style design
• Some applications feature Kangaroo Paw ventilation

Important: Verify rotor dimensions, minimum thickness and handedness by VIN/DBA part number.

Street Series EnShield applies a baked zinc/aluminium water-based protective coating across the rotor for enhanced corrosion resistance, while retaining OE-style fitment.

• Baked protective EnShield coating
• Direct-replacement design
• Street Series architecture

Important: A painted/coated rotor is not a substitute for verifying fitment or measuring existing hub condition.

DBA’s T2 uses CNC-machined bi-symmetrical slots to help friction dust and gases leave the contact surface, aiming for more immediate pedal feedback than a plain surface.

• Patented T2 slot design
• Street Series direct replacement
• Symmetrical slots

Important: A suffix S also denotes T3 in 4000/5000 Series: prefix and series must be checked.

X Gold combines a non-directional cross-drilled and slotted pattern with a gold-coloured hub finish, aimed principally at road vehicles and visual upgrades.

• Cross-drilled + slotted
• Gold hub appearance
• Street Series design

Important: Do not select on styling alone for repeated track braking or demanding off-road use.

OEX targets European vehicle applications with original-equipment-style drill, slot or dimple patterns; directional fitment can depend on the exact casting.

• OE-style rotor patterns
• European applications
• Some designs directional

Important: Check the specific left/right orientation; do not assume bi-directional fitment.

DBA Street Series HC uses a composite iron friction ring joined permanently to an aluminium or steel hat in selected European OE-style applications.

• Permanently bonded composite construction
• OE replacement geometry
• DBA cites R90 approval for its HC family

Important: Not interchangeable with serviceable DBA 5000 Series two-piece hats and rings.

4000 Series HD retains a smooth face while providing the Series’ high-carbon casting and Thermal Stability Profiling.

• High-carbon alloyed iron
• Thermal Stability Profiling
• Smooth OE-style rotor face

Important: Series technology varies by application; do not assume every rotor has identical vane geometry.

4000 T3 brings DBA’s tri-symmetrical slots to a high-carbon, thermally profiled single-piece rotor. The manufacturer recommends T3 for high-performance braking.

• T3 bi-directional slots
• High-carbon alloyed iron
• Thermal Stability Profiling and TGHP where fitted

Important: Verify rotor size and part-number availability before treating as a fitment match.

4000 XS Gold is a drilled/slotted visual-performance option with a gold-finished hub, based on the 4000 Series.

• High-carbon 4000 Series architecture
• Cross-drilled / slotted face
• Gold-finish hub

Important: DBA does not recommend drilled rotor configurations for track days or heavy off-road use.

4000 XD uses a non-directional mix of drilled holes and dimples, providing sport-oriented styling and extra surface features.

• Dimpled and drilled surface
• High-carbon 4000 construction
• 4000 Series thermal profiling

Important: DBA does not recommend drilled rotor configurations for track days or heavy off-road use.

5000 HD pairs a high-carbon iron friction ring with an aluminium centre hat while retaining a smooth face. Complete assemblies and compatible replacement parts can be supplied.

• Two-piece replaceable-ring concept
• Aluma-Lite 6061-T6 aluminium hat
• High-carbon iron friction ring

Important: Ring-only purchases require the matching DBA hat/hardware; professional assembly instructions apply.

5000 T3 combines DBA’s tri-symmetrical slot design with high-carbon replaceable rings and lightweight aluminium hats for improved thermal management and reduced unsprung mass.

• Serviceable two-piece assembly
• T3 slotted high-carbon ring
• Aluma-Lite aluminium hat and TSP

Important: Available as complete assembly or as specific replacement hats/rings. Verify assembly and hardware compatibility.

5000 XS combines the two-piece 5000 construction with a drilled/slotted pattern intended largely for road/show applications.

• Two-piece aluminium hat
• Cross-drilled and slotted ring
• High-carbon 5000 technology

Important: For track work choose T3 rather than drilled variants unless DBA approves a specific application.

5000 XD uses non-directional drilled and dimpled surface details on DBA’s two-piece 5000 platform. DBA explicitly advises against XD track usage.

• Two-piece 5000 platform
• Cross-drilled / dimpled face
• Sport-focused appearance

Important: Do not select for track use: DBA explicitly does not recommend 5000 XD for the track.

Compatible 5000 Series hats and friction rings may be sourced separately instead of replacing the entire assembly.

• Ring and hat replacements
• Compatibility-specific NAS bolts / hardware
• Professional service and inspection

Important: DBA instructs inspection of used hats and use of specified fastening hardware; do not mix unmatched components.

Street Series SS pads cover daily road driving and applications ranging from passenger cars to SUVs and light commercial vehicles. Ceramic or semi-metallic formulation varies with application.

• Application-specific ceramic or semi-metallic formulation
• NVH shims, slots and chamfers
• Bedding aid on applicable versions

Important: The chosen SS SKU must match vehicle, axle and caliper. Do not assume all SS pads are ceramic.

DBA’s Street Series EV range addresses the different regenerative-braking operating pattern of electric and hybrid vehicles using an EV-specific friction material and shim system.

• EV-specific formulation
• Purpose-designed NVH shim
• Application-specific fitment

Important: Do not assume all EV brake pads share part numbers with ICE variants or cover all EV makes.

SP is DBA’s everyday performance upgrade pad with enhanced pedal response, high-temperature consistency and low-noise hardware.

• Scorched semi-metallic formulation
• Application-specific NVH shims
• Copper-free (NSFI) formulation, per DBA Europe

Important: Different friction data may exist by part number; do not infer global temperature limits from a graph.

XP is DBA’s higher-duty semi-metallic pad aimed at stronger initial bite and more stable friction in tougher conditions, including club track days, heavy towing and 4WDs.

• Higher initial bite
• Low-to-high temperature consistency
• Scorched semi-metallic, copper-free material

Important: Club track application only after checking specific pad/disc fitment, brake temperatures and legal road approval.

RP is DBA’s carbon-metallic competition pad intended for high-temperature motorsport, super sprints and circuit use. It is not suitable for ordinary road driving.

• Carbon-metallic compound
• Extreme-temperature competition application
• Manufacturer recommends 5000 T3

Important: Circuit/competition use only; not suitable for ordinary road driving. Verify exact pad shape, rotor pairing, bedding-in and event regulations.

DBA Street Series replacement brake calipers restore original-equipment braking function without requiring core-exchange remanufacture in supported applications.

• OE-oriented fitment
• ISO quality standards
• Original equipment construction principles

Important: Confirm axle, side, parking brake interface and vehicle-specific design before ordering.

DBA combines 4000 Series T3 rotors, XP-level pads, six-piston calipers and braided hoses in a vehicle-specific upgrade kit.

• 4000 Series T3 rotors
• XP-level pads
• 6-piston calipers and braided hoses

Important: DBA quotes Australian ADR compliance; EU road approval must be verified separately.

DBA Electric Park Brake kit supports the existing OE handbrake with a vehicle-specific electric actuation setup.

• Supports the OE handbrake
• Direct bolt-on install in supported vehicles
• Automatic engagement options

Important: DBA documents 70/200 Series Land Cruiser applications. Must not be used as a standalone handbrake.

DBA offers conversion assemblies replacing traditional drums with disc brake technology in supported applications, marketed for off-road and heavy-duty vehicle use.

• Drum-to-disc conversion
• Direct bolt-on where supported
• Improved serviceability compared with drums

Important: Australian ADR compliance mentioned; check EU vehicle approval and installation requirements before selling as road legal.
