DBA 4000 Series Plain Rotor (Front)

2011–2018 Dodge Durango with 350mm Front Rotor and Vented Rear Rotor

DBA42635

Overview:

The DBA 4000 Series Plain Rotor is a high-performance direct replacement brake rotor designed specifically for the front brakes of Dodge Durango models from 2011 to 2018 equipped with 350mm front rotors and vented rear rotors. Engineered for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance beyond standard OEM levels, this rotor delivers superior heat management and durability under demanding driving conditions. Ideal for daily driving, towing, and spirited driving, the 4000 Series rotor offers reliable stopping power and extended service life.

Manufactured by DBA, a leader in brake technology, this rotor combines advanced metallurgy and innovative ventilation to reduce brake fade and maintain consistent braking performance even during intense use.

Key Features:

The DBA 4000 Series Plain Rotor incorporates cutting-edge technology and design elements to optimize braking efficiency and longevity. Key features include:

• 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: Specially formulated cast iron alloy that offers superior thermal capacity and resistance to warping and cracking under extreme heat.
• Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP): A proprietary heat treatment process that improves rotor durability and performance by stabilizing the metal structure.
• Thermographic Temperature Monitoring: Heat-sensitive paint markings change color at specific temperature thresholds, providing a visual indicator of peak braking temperatures and rotor fatigue.
• Paint Protection on Non-Friction Areas: Corrosion-resistant coating enhances appearance and prevents rust formation, maintaining a clean, professional look.
• OE Style Smooth Finish: The 4000 Series HD variant offers a smooth, factory-style rotor surface preferred for controlled race divisions or those seeking an OEM appearance.

Construction & Design:

DBA’s 4000 Series rotors are precision cast from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, a material chosen for its exceptional ability to withstand high thermal loads and mechanical stress. The rotors undergo Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP), a specialized heat treatment that enhances the metal’s structural integrity, reducing the risk of warping and cracking over time. The patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation design features a unique pattern of diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars that significantly increase airflow and heat dissipation, ensuring the rotor remains cool and effective during repeated heavy braking.

Additionally, the rotors are coated with a protective paint on all non-friction surfaces to prevent corrosion and maintain a clean, rust-free appearance throughout their service life.

Installation & Fitment:

This rotor is a direct bolt-on replacement for the front brakes of Dodge Durango models from 2011 through 2018 equipped with 350mm front rotors and vented rear rotors. No modifications are required for installation, making it a straightforward upgrade for improved braking performance. It is recommended to verify your vehicle’s brake package and measure existing rotors to ensure compatibility before purchase, as multiple brake configurations may exist for this model.

What's Included:

• One DBA 4000 Series Plain Front Brake Rotor (Driver or Passenger Side)
• Protective coating on non-friction surfaces
• Thermographic temperature monitoring paint markings

Ideal For:

This rotor is ideal for Dodge Durango owners who demand enhanced braking performance and durability without sacrificing OEM fitment or appearance. It suits daily drivers, towing enthusiasts, and those who occasionally push their vehicle harder on highways or in mountainous terrain. The smooth finish variant is also suitable for controlled race environments where an OEM look is preferred.
