Key Features

DBA’s Street Series rotors incorporate advanced design and manufacturing techniques to deliver superior braking performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Drilled and slotted surface: Enhances heat dissipation and helps prevent brake fade under heavy use.
• Gold anodized aluminum hat: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, adding both performance and aesthetic appeal.
• High-quality casting: Precision-machined for exact fitment and smooth operation.
• Improved pad bite: Slots help clean the brake pad surface for consistent friction and stopping power.
• Reduced brake dust and gas buildup: Drilled holes allow gases and debris to escape, maintaining optimal contact.
• Direct bolt-on replacement: Designed to fit OEM specifications for easy installation.
• Enhanced durability: Engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and occasional spirited use.

Construction & Design

The rotor features a two-piece design combining a cast iron braking surface with a lightweight aluminum hat. This construction reduces unsprung weight, improving suspension response and overall vehicle handling. The cast iron disc is precision-machined and treated to resist warping and cracking under thermal stress. The drilled holes and slots are strategically placed to optimize cooling and maintain consistent brake pad contact.

The gold anodized aluminum hat not only adds corrosion resistance but also contributes to weight savings compared to traditional all-cast rotors. This design ensures long-lasting performance and a clean, aggressive look that complements the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s rugged style.

Installation & Fitment

This rotor is a direct replacement for the rear brakes on 1999–2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee models equipped with 2.5L, 4.0L I6, 4.7L V8, 5.2L V8, or 5.9L V8 engines. Installation requires no modifications and fits using existing hardware and brake pads. It is recommended to replace rotors in pairs to maintain balanced braking performance. Professional installation is advised to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system safety.
