Key Features:
The DBA 4000 Series Standard Rear Rotor incorporates advanced materials and design features to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity. Key highlights include:
- Constructed from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron for superior strength and resistance to heat-induced warping.
- Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) process enhances metallurgy to withstand repeated high-stress braking events.
- Patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation design featuring 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars, increasing surface area by up to 30% compared to traditional straight vane rotors.
- Improved cooling efficiency by approximately 20%, helping to reduce brake fade during extended use.
- Thermo-graphic paint markings (THGP) provide visual indication of rotor temperature for monitoring performance.
- Smooth OE-style rotor finish maintains a factory appearance, favored in controlled race divisions and street applications.
- Direct replacement fitment ensures easy installation without modification.
- Moisture-proof corrosion protection packaging preserves rotor condition before installation.
Construction & Design:
The rotor is precision cast from DBA’s proprietary XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, a material known for its excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical strength. This alloy, combined with the Thermal Stability Profiling process, ensures the rotor can endure the elevated temperatures and stresses generated during aggressive braking without compromising structural integrity.
The innovative Kangaroo Paw ventilation system enhances airflow through the rotor, promoting faster heat dissipation and reducing the risk of brake fade. This design uses a unique pattern of diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that increase the rotor’s surface area and cooling capacity beyond conventional straight vane rotors, contributing to more consistent braking performance.
Installation & Fitment:
This rotor is engineered as a direct replacement for the rear rotors on Tesla Model S vehicles from 2017 to 2026. It installs using existing factory mounting points and requires no cutting, drilling, or special tuning. This ensures a straightforward upgrade process that maintains OEM fitment and function.
