For those who frequently tow, off-road, or haul heavy loads with their 4x4s, Disc Brakes Australia’s (DBA) new Upgrade Performance Brake Kits are a game-changer.
This latest offering includes larger calipers, steel braided hoses, XP level friction brake pads, and DBA’s patented 4000 Series T3 rotor with Kangaroo Paw vane ventilation. These Upgrade Kits are designed to enhance performance, safety, and reliability. Injected with DBA’s patented technology, they are perfect for off-road enthusiasts and heavy-duty users alike.
Enhanced safety and performance
Standard brake systems often fail under the intense demands of towing, off-roading, and carrying heavy loads. DBA’s Upgrade Performance Brake Kits are designed to tackle these challenges head-on:
- Upgrade Calipers: ensure effective stopping under heavy stress.
- 4000 Series T3 Rotor: unique Kangaroo Paw vane ventilation with 144 diamond and teardrop-patterned pillars enhances heat dissipation and stability. The patented T3 slot design provides more exit points for dust and gases, resulting in a quieter, more responsive, and smoother brake pedal feel.
- XP Friction Level Brake Pads: deliver exceptional stopping power with high initial bite and increased surface friction, ensuring consistent performance from low to high temperatures.
- Steel braided hoses: offer a tougher barrier against the elements and increase peak performance longevity.
These kits guarantee efficient braking even under the heaviest loads or toughest terrains, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and improving vehicle control.
- Superior towing capabilities: Towing places significant strain on a vehicle’s brakes, often leading to faster brake fade and increased stopping distances with standard systems.
DBA’s upgrade kits are engineered to handle this extra load effortlessly:
- Enhanced heat management: Crucial for descending steep grades with a heavy trailer. DBA’s patented Kangaroo Paw vane ventilation ensures up to 20 per cent better heat dissipation compared to conventional rotor ventilation systems, allowing you to tow with greater confidence and ensuring your brakes are less likely to overheat and fail.
Off-roading excellence
Off-roading demands a reliable braking system in unpredictable conditions. DBA’s upgraded brake kits excel by offering improved modulation and response:
- Consistent performance: whether navigating steep inclines or muddy trails, these brakes provide safer and more controlled driving.
- Durable hoses: OE rubber hoses can become soft over time, causing a loss of force applied to the brake pistons. DBA’s steel braided hoses resist debris and mud, reducing premature wear and ensuring long-lasting reliability.
Improved handling with heavy loads
For 4×4 owners who use their vehicles for work or expeditions, carrying heavy loads is a common challenge. DBA’s upgraded brake kits are designed to handle heavier loads more effectively:
- Reduced pedal effort: larger calipers reduce pedal effort by up to 60 per cent, providing more force and surface area for the brake pads to push against the rotor. This results in shorter stopping distances and greater stability, crucial for maintaining control during sudden stops or emergency manoeuvres.
Cost-effectiveness and longevity
While the initial investment in DBA’s upgraded brake kits might seem substantial, it proves cost-effective in the long run:
- Longer lifespan: high-performance components typically last longer compared to standard parts, especially in demanding conditions.
- Lower maintenance costs: fewer replacements and improved braking efficiency reduce wear on other vehicle parts, such as tires and suspension, further cutting down overall maintenance expenses.
DBA’s Upgrade Performance Brake Kits for 4×4 vehicles offer numerous benefits, especially if you regularly tow, off-road, or carry heavy loads. Enhanced safety, superior towing capabilities, improved off-roading performance, better handling of heavy loads, and long-term cost savings make this upgrade a smart investment for any 4×4 enthusiast or professional. DBA’s upgraded brake kits not only boost performance but also provide peace of mind, allowing you to tackle any adventure or task with confidence.
