DBA 4000 Series Rotor

2008–2016 Dodge Challenger SRT8

DBA42444

Overview:

The DBA 4000 Series Rotor is a premium front brake rotor designed specifically for the Dodge Challenger SRT8 models from 2008 to 2016. Engineered as a direct replacement for your factory rotors, this single-piece rotor offers enhanced braking performance for drivers seeking improved heat management and durability beyond standard OEM components. Ideal for spirited street driving and occasional track use, the 4000 Series rotor delivers consistent stopping power while minimizing brake fade under demanding conditions.

Crafted with advanced metallurgy and innovative ventilation technology, this rotor is perfect for enthusiasts who want reliable, high-performance braking without compromising on fitment or appearance.

Key Features:

The DBA 4000 Series Rotor incorporates cutting-edge design elements and materials to optimize braking efficiency and longevity:

• Kangaroo Paw Ventilation System: Features 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that increase surface area by up to 30%, enhancing cooling efficiency by 20% compared to traditional straight vane rotors.
• XG-150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron: This specialized iron alloy improves thermal capacity, reducing the risk of warping and cracking under extreme heat.
• Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP): A proprietary heat treatment process that strengthens the rotor to withstand repeated high-temperature braking cycles.
• Thermographic Temperature Monitoring: Heat-sensitive paint markings change color at specific temperature thresholds, providing visual feedback on rotor temperature and fatigue.
• Paint Protection on Non-Friction Areas: Enhances corrosion resistance and maintains a clean, rust-free appearance.
• OE Style Finish (4000 Series HD variant): Offers a smooth, factory-like look for drivers requiring an OEM aesthetic.

Construction & Design:

DBA’s 4000 Series rotors are cast from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, a material chosen for its superior thermal conductivity and durability. The rotors undergo Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP), a heat treatment process that enhances their ability to endure extreme temperatures without warping or cracking. The patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation design incorporates a unique pattern of diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that significantly increase airflow and surface area, resulting in improved heat dissipation and reduced brake fade.

The rotor’s non-friction surfaces are coated with a protective paint to prevent corrosion and maintain a clean, professional appearance throughout its service life. This combination of advanced materials and engineering ensures the rotor performs reliably under both street and track conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

This rotor is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the front brakes of Dodge Challenger SRT8 models from 2008 through 2016. While vehicle fitment is provided as a guide, it is recommended to verify compatibility by measuring your existing brake discs and pads and comparing them with DBA’s specifications. Installation requires standard brake service tools and procedures, with no modifications necessary for proper fitment.

Please note that due to multiple brake package options offered by manufacturers, confirming exact fitment prior to purchase is advised to avoid returns or exchanges, which may incur restocking and freight fees.
