Disc Brake Thermal Stability


Thermal Stability Profiling

DBA’s 4000 and 5000 series brake rotors can handle extreme applications thanks to Thermo Stability Profiling or TSP. This unique process provides greater thermal stability than standard street discs. TSP enhances the microstructure of the disc rotor for performance applications.



Greater thermal stability allows your discs to take more heat, making them more stable under heavy braking for longer. TSP also means improved brake pad and disc rotor life, and delayed brake fade.

Disc Brake's Ingredient


The Ingredients of a Performance Disc Brake Rotor

DBA’s Kangaroo Paw delivers significantly improved braking performance under all conditions to make you safer than ever before. The innovative Kangaroo Paw design runs cooler, is stronger, and outperforms traditional straight vane disc
brake rotors.

Every time the brakes are used massive pressure is built up through the braking system. The force your foot applies at the brake pedal is multiplied many times at the disc rotors, creating friction and extreme heat.

The extreme heat can cause disc rotors to warp, distort and in some cases fail. Traditionally, heat is removed as air flows through the rotor passing between straight ‘cooling vanes’. However, the straight vane design does not provide the ideal conditions for heat to be dissipated and tends to allow an unwanted ballooning effect. Kangaroo Paw disc rotors will quickly remove the heat, cool the discs, and return to optimal operating temperatures ready for the next braking application – without this ballooning.


The Kangaroo Paw features 144 precisely positioned diamond and tear-drop pillars. The pillars create greater strength, reliability, and a more efficient cooling system. Greater surface area means more rapid heat dissipation. Cool air flows in from the centre of the disc, while hot air is forced to the outside of the disc - regardless of rotational direction. The pillars provide greater strength across the disc rotor and reduce the tendency for disc distortion. More efficient cooling improves brake pad and disc rotor life, and helps reduce brake fade. That’s why the Kangaroo Paw system is so effective.

DBA - Disc Brake Australia ( T3 )


DBA T3 Slot

Disc Brakes Australia is proud to announce CLUBSPEC T3 slot series, the biggest leap forward in performance braking technology since 1997. With a precise array of tri-symmetrical ‘T’ slots, the patented T3 design brings major performance and practical advantages to the motoring enthusiast.

CLUBSPEC is the new product category for DBA’s performance enhanced disc brake rotors.These are the ultimate in road and race brake rotors, featuring a number of performance enhancements.

Available as a one-piece 4000 series, or in DBA’s premium two-piece 5000 series.

Features 
XG-150
Through extensive testing and feedback from performance drivers worldwide, DBA has developed a unique cast iron formula (XG-150) for use in all of its CLUBSPEC disc brake rotors. The XG-150 formula, with its increased thermal capacity properties, is designed to respond to the DBA TSP process allowing the rotor to handle constant extremes of heat over an extended period of time.

Bosch Brakes Pad


BOSCH BRAKES

Bosch Brakes

Your first choice in brake
Bosch is a global force in braking systems, offering the most complete range of brake parts available. From ABS to disc rotors and pads, Bosch designs and manufactures a full range of braking products for both vehicle manufacturers and the automotive aftermarket.
Bosch Brake PadsBosch has used its expertise in total braking systems to produce a range of brake pads that offers outstanding performance, long-life and low-noise.
The range also caters to different segments of the market with a three-tiered program that makes fitting the right pads easier.

Bosch Eco Brake PadsThe Bosch Eco range is designed to provide a high-level of performance and safety at minimal cost. Eco pads still feature levels of performance and safety that are typical of Bosch, but reduce servicing costs for your customer.
Bosch Eco brake pads offer:· Latest ceramic friction material
· Great value for money
· 12 month warranty
Bosch QikStop
The QikStop range is suitable for most passenger vehicles and most driving styles. It is designed for everyday drivers who want a premium quality pad at an affordable price.
Specially manufactured using non-asbestos, organic friction material, QikStop pads contain lower levels of abrasive metal, compared to metallic or semi metallic alternatives. This lower metal content will result in reduced levels of wear to the vehicle’s brake discs.
Bosch Qikstop brake pads offer· Premium braking performance
· Low noise and dust
· 2 year/20,000km warranty



Bosch Ultra Brake Pads

The Ultra range delivers premium braking performance and is designed for those who demand more from their vehicles. The range is ideal for European vehicles, four-wheel drives and those towing or driving a high number of kilometres.
Ultra pads utilise heavy duty ceramic friction material compounds and specially coated, noise damped shim technology, for optimum friction performance and long-life
Bosch Ultra brake pads offer:· Optimal braking performance
· Long braking life
· Excellent noise suppression
· 3 year/30,000km warranty
Bosch Brake Shoes
The Bosch brake range also includes brake shoes for popular applications.
Bosch brake shoes are manufactured using high-quality, low-wear friction material that is designed to withstand operating temperatures of more than 350°C. Unlike some common semi-metallic linings, the Bosch material contains no iron which assists in lower rates of wear and more stable friction performance.

Bosch brake shoes offer:· Low drum wear
· Pre-chamfered for easier fitment
· 1 year/20,000km warranty
· High market coverage, including shoes for trailers
