DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor (Front)
2006–2010 Dodge Charger / 2008–2010 Dodge Challenger
DBA42426S
Overview:
The DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor is engineered as a direct replacement front rotor for Dodge Charger models from 2006 to 2010 and Dodge Challenger models from 2008 to 2010. Designed for performance enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, this rotor delivers enhanced braking reliability and consistency under demanding conditions. Its advanced metallurgy and innovative slot design ensure superior heat dissipation, reduced brake fade, and improved pedal feel, making it an excellent upgrade for street, track, and light utility applications.
Whether you’re upgrading your muscle car for spirited driving or require dependable stopping power for heavier use, the DBA 4000 Series T3 rotor offers a balance of durability, performance, and noise reduction.
Key Features:
DBA’s 4000 Series T3 rotors incorporate cutting-edge technology to maximize braking efficiency and rotor longevity. Key features include:
- XG-150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron: Provides superior strength and thermal capacity to withstand intense braking heat cycles.
- Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP): A proprietary heat treatment process that reduces the risk of warping and cracking.
- Kangaroo Paw Ventilation: Features 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that increase surface area by up to 30% and improve cooling efficiency by 20% compared to traditional straight vane rotors.
- T3 Bi-Directional Slot Design: CNC-machined tri-symmetrical slots enhance brake pad bite, reduce noise, and provide a smoother pedal feel.
- Universal Slot Pattern: Eliminates the need for separate left and right rotors, simplifying installation and inventory.
- Thermo-Graphic Paint Markings (THGP): Visual indicators that show rotor temperature to help monitor performance.
- Moisture-Proof Corrosion Protection Packaging: Ensures the rotors arrive in pristine condition, ready for installation.
- Direct Replacement Fitment: Designed to bolt on without modifications for a hassle-free upgrade.
Construction & Design:
Manufactured from DBA’s proprietary XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, these rotors are engineered to endure the extreme thermal and mechanical stresses generated during aggressive braking. The high carbon content improves rotor strength and wear resistance while minimizing the risk of cracking and warping over time.
The patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation system enhances airflow through the rotor, significantly improving heat dissipation. This innovative design uses a network of diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that increase the rotor’s surface area and cooling efficiency beyond traditional straight vane rotors. Additionally, the T3 slot pattern is precisely CNC-machined to optimize pad contact and gas evacuation, which helps maintain consistent braking performance under heavy use.
Performance & Sound
The T3 slot design not only improves braking responsiveness but also reduces brake noise and vibration. By increasing the number of exit points for brake dust and gases, the rotor maintains cleaner pad surfaces and consistent friction levels, resulting in smoother, quieter stops. This makes the DBA 4000 Series T3 rotor ideal for drivers seeking enhanced performance without the harsh noise sometimes associated with aftermarket rotors.
Installation & Fitment:
These rotors are engineered as direct replacements for the front brakes of 2006–2010 Dodge Charger and 2008–2010 Dodge Challenger models. Installation requires no modifications, allowing for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade using existing hardware. Proper installation ensures optimal rotor performance and longevity.
What’s Included
- One front DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor (driver or passenger side)
- Moisture-proof corrosion protection packaging
- Thermo-graphic paint temperature indicators
Ideal For:
This rotor is perfect for muscle car enthusiasts who demand reliable, high-performance braking for street driving, occasional track days, or spirited weekend runs. It is also suitable for light utility vehicles, 4x4s, rally cars, and armored vehicles requiring enhanced cooling and durability under heavy braking conditions. Drivers seeking a quieter, smoother pedal feel with improved pad bite will appreciate the advanced T3 slot design.
