Designed to meet the needs of mechanics and vehicle owners alike, this kit combines top-tier performance, durability, and ease of maintenance, ensuring safer, smoother journeys for everyone.

Why make the switch to disc brakes?

Drum brakes may have been the standard on small cars and entry-level models for years, but they’re no match for the performance and safety of disc brakes – especially when it counts. With DBA’s Drum-to-Disc Conversion Kit, drivers and mechanics gain access to:

  • Unmatched Stopping Power: Imagine towing a fully loaded trailer down a steep descent and feeling complete control, knowing your brakes won’t let you down. Disc brakes generally deliver shorter stopping distances and consistent performance over drum brakes, giving drivers and passengers peace of mind on every trip.
  • Enhanced Heat Resistance: Long drives, heavy loads, and steep terrain can push brakes to their limits. Thanks to the enhanced metallurgy of DBA’s 4000 Series T3 Rotors and superior pads friction material, this kit resists brake fade, so you can rely on smooth, dependable stops no matter how demanding the journey.
  • Superior Wet Weather Performance: Rain, mud, or creek crossings? Unlike drum brakes that hold water and compromise braking ability, disc brakes shed water quickly, keeping you in control when conditions turn rough.

Whether you’re a driver looking to protect your loved ones or a mechanic wanting to offer clients the best solution, this kit is designed for confidence in any situation.

Simplifying maintenance for everyone

For mechanics, DBA’s conversion kit makes servicing vehicles faster and easier. For drivers, it means less time in the shop and more time on the road.

Here’s how:

  • Quick and simple inspections: Disc brakes are far easier to check and service compared to drum brakes, with accessible pads that simplify replacements.
  • Self-adjusting design: Unlike drum brakes, which require frequent manual adjustments, disc brakes adjust themselves, saving time for mechanics and money for vehicle owners.
  • Ease of installation: Each kit comes with detailed installation instructions, simplifying the installation process thus saving workshops valuable time.

This isn’t just about convenience though – it’s about reliability and predictability. Mechanics know they save time on brake installation and servicing, while drivers enjoy the confidence of knowing their brakes are built for the long haul. DBA’s conversion kits are fully compliant with Australian Design Rules (ADR).
