Overview

The DBA Street Series Slotted Front Brake Rotor is engineered specifically for Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 1999 to 2004, covering a wide range of engine options including 2.5L, 4.0L inline-6, and 4.7L, 5.2L, and 5.9L V8 engines. Designed to replace the factory front rotors paired with Akebono front calipers (part number 4802), this rotor offers enhanced braking performance for daily driving and spirited street use.

Ideal for Jeep enthusiasts seeking improved brake response and heat dissipation without sacrificing OEM fitment or reliability, the Street Series rotor delivers consistent stopping power and durability under normal to moderately demanding conditions.

Key Features

The DBA Street Series Slotted Rotor incorporates advanced design elements to optimize braking efficiency and rotor longevity. Key features include:

• Precision-machined slots to improve pad bite and reduce brake fade
• High-quality cast iron construction for excellent thermal conductivity and strength
• Direct bolt-on fitment for 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee front axle with Akebono calipers
• Enhanced cooling through slot design to minimize heat buildup during braking
• Corrosion-resistant coating to extend rotor life and maintain appearance
• Balanced and stress-relieved to reduce vibration and noise
• Compatible with OEM brake pads and calipers for hassle-free installation

Construction & Design

Manufactured from premium-grade cast iron, the DBA Street Series rotor is engineered for durability and consistent performance. The rotor features a slotted surface pattern that aids in channeling away dust, gases, and water from the pad contact area, ensuring reliable braking in various driving conditions. The design also helps maintain a clean pad surface, reducing glazing and extending pad life.

DBA’s proprietary stress-relieving process minimizes the risk of warping and cracking, providing long-lasting rotor integrity. The corrosion-resistant coating protects the rotor’s non-friction surfaces from rust, preserving both function and aesthetics over time.

Installation & Fitment

This rotor is a direct replacement for the front brake rotors on 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models equipped with Akebono front calipers (part number 4802). Installation requires no modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners looking to enhance braking performance while maintaining factory compatibility.

Standard brake service tools and procedures apply. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maximize braking efficiency and rotor lifespan.
