The DBA DBA2860S Street Series T2 Slotted Brake Rotor is a front brake disc engineered by Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) for everyday drivers seeking a meaningful upgrade over standard OEM rotors. Designed for spirited street use, towing, and heavy-duty driving, this rotor delivers improved responsiveness, reduced noise, and longer pad and rotor life.
At the heart of the DBA2860S is DBA's patented T2 bi-symmetrical slot design, featuring precision CNC-machined curved slots that dampen vibration harmonics, reduce brake noise, and deliver a quieter, smoother pedal feel. The universal bi-directional slot pattern eliminates the need for separate left and right rotors, simplifying installation and inventory.
The friction surface is finished using CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machining, which produces a more dimensionally accurate and stable surface compared to traditionally ground rotors. This precision finish reduces disc thickness variation (DTV), improves parallelism, and promotes healthier pad bed-in, particularly in applications that see wide temperature fluctuations.
DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system features 144 uniquely shaped diamond and teardrop pillars within the rotor vane. This design accelerates cooling, enhances dimensional stability, and can boost thermal efficiency by up to 20% over conventional rotor designs — helping to minimize brake fade during demanding use.
Key Features:
- Patented T2 bi-symmetrical CNC-machined curved slots for reduced noise and vibration
- Increased out-gassing exit points to clear friction dust and gases, enhancing pad bite
- Universal bi-directional slot design — no left/right distinction required
- CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machined friction surface for superior DTV and parallelism
- Patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system for up to 20% greater cooling efficiency
- Promotes even pad wear and helps prevent pad glazing
- Prolongs service life of both pads and rotors
- Ideal for daily driving, towing, heavy-duty, and spirited street use
- Sold individually — order two for a complete axle set
Manufactured in Sydney, Australia by DBA — a nine-time winner of the prestigious AAAA Gold Manufacturer Award with over 30 years of brake engineering expertise — the DBA2860S represents a proven performance upgrade that prioritizes safety, quality, and real-world braking performance.
