Default Need Rotors? DBA 2000 front and 4000 series (front and rear kits) on sale

Last year DBA changed their slot design from a straight slot to what they call a T-3 design. When this happened they were left with a number of the straight slot rotors left over.

I'll start with the DBA 2000's:

We only have fronts of these, but here's the deal... the price for a pair is $129. That's $64.50 a rotor... for a DBA slotted rotor! Hell the good blanks cost almost that much. We only have fronts in DBA, but we do have other slotted rears that will match the look very well if you are into that sort of thing. By the way these used to sell for about $300 for the pair.

-----------------------------
DBA 4000's:

I have 4 complete car sets of these (2 front, 2 rear per set). They used to sell for around $850/set.... right now they are $425 for the complete set. BTW, these sold for around $800 before.

The 4000 Series Wiper-Slot rotor has a unique 6x6 slotted design for extreme stopping power on the road and the track. As with every DBA rotor, the 4000 Series rotor bolts right onto the vehicle with no mechanical changes needed.

DBA's mid-series, enhanced-performance, slotted rotor features Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) for improved heat handling and Thermo-Graphic paint markings for effective heat monitoring.

TSP is a proprietary process specifically developed by DBA for improving the performance of disc brake rotors. Benefits of TSP include:

Improved fatigue resistance to minimize surface cracking
Reduced rotor fatigue during prolonged heavy braking
Quick replacement, minimal ''bedding-in'' of rotors

Thermo-Graphic markings are placed on the outer edge of each DBA 4000 series disc rotors and are used to monitor the core temperatures achieved during braking application. The markings change color as the rotor heats up to alert the driver to rotor temperatures that exceed optimum levels.

''Kangaroo Paw'' is a patented, high-tech disc rotor ventilation system designed and manufactured in Australia by Disc Brakes Australia and available on rotors for select applications. "Kangaroo Paw" technology delivers significantly improved braking performance. Even under extreme braking conditions. Kangaroo Paw rotor designs run cooler, are stronger, and outperform traditional straight-vane disc rotor.

The ''Kangaroo Paw'' design features a series of 144 diamond- and tear drop-shaped pillars and columns individually spaced between the rotor faces.

This system provides two key advantages.

First, is the ability to cool the rotor faster than ever before. As the disc rotor rotates, aerodynamic turbulence around the individual pillars and columns is generated, increasing the force of hot air out from within the internal areas of the rotor.

Second is increased dimensional stability across the disc rotor directly achieved by the individually spaced pillars and columns.

These advantages increase the disc rotor's efficiency by as much as 20% when compared to conventional rotor designs. A 20% increase in disc rotor efficiency directly translates to reduced brake operating temperatures, brake fade, disc rotor stresses, disc thickness variation, run-out and shudder.

All 4000 series rotors also benefit from DBA's "Longlife Slotted" design. The rotors are manufactured to QS-9000 quality standards using premium grade materials with a high iron content and dense metal matrix resulting in long wear and safe, consistent stopping power.

Unidirectional slotting (left and right) increases pad bite, reduces fade and delivers exceptional braking performance.
Slots continually de-glaze the brake pads improving efficiency and reducing rotor scoring.
Slots even out wear across the brake pad faces, increasing the effective contact area and extending rotor life.
Slots help dissipate water when driving in poor weather, as well as pump away dust and dirt.
Slotting also combats "out-gassing," where gas (from the pad bonding agents) can form a cushion between pad and rotor, greatly reducing braking power.
DBA rotors are chosen as Original Equipment on many vehicles.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
These rotors are all brand new, they are not blems, they just are the older slot design and being closed out to make room for new stuff!

Plenty of the front 2000's left. Only a couple of the 4000's remain.
