Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) has announced a significant expansion of its Upgrade Performance Brake Kit lineup, building on the successful 2024 launch for the Ford Ranger. This broadened offering now caters to a wider selection of popular Australian 4x4s, Utes, and performance vehicles, enhancing safety and control for a diverse range of driving needs.
Key Highlights:
- Expanded Vehicle Range: The upgrade kits are now available for an increased number of models, including the Holden Commodore, Ford Falcon, Isuzu D-MAX, Holden Colorado, Toyota HiLux, Mazda BT-50, and Toyota LandCruiser 70 and 200 Series.
- Comprehensive Kit Components: Each kit is meticulously assembled with DBA’s renowned 4000 Series T3 slotted rotors featuring patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation, high-friction XP brake pads, durable steel braided hoses, and larger calipers.
- Enhanced Braking Performance: Users will experience shorter stopping distances, significantly reduced brake fade under duress, and a firmer, more consistent pedal feel, especially when carrying heavy loads or in demanding driving situations.
- Versatile Application: These kits are engineered not only for towing, off-road adventures, and carrying heavy cargo but also for performance vehicles used in track days or club-level motorsport.
- Bolt-On Solution: DBA provides a complete, direct-fit bolt-on solution, eliminating the complexity of sourcing and matching individual components.
DBA’s Upgrade Performance Brake Kits are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of challenging driving conditions. For individuals who frequently tow trailers, venture off-road, or regularly transport heavy loads, superior braking performance is crucial for safety, control, and overall reliability. These kits provide a substantial improvement over factory braking systems, offering a more secure and confidence-inspiring driving experience.
The benefits of these upgrades also extend to the realm of performance driving. Owners of vehicles like the Holden Commodore and Ford Falcon who participate in track days or club-level motorsport will find the enhanced braking control invaluable. The larger calipers and high-friction XP pads deliver greater clamping force and initial bite. Simultaneously, the innovative Kangaroo Paw rotor design efficiently dissipates heat, ensuring consistent braking performance lap after lap, whether navigating tight corners or decelerating from high speeds.
Standard braking systems can often falter under the extreme heat and weight associated with towing, off-roading, or intensive braking scenarios. DBA’s solution directly addresses these limitations. The larger calipers included in the kits can reduce pedal effort by up to 60%, making braking feel more responsive and less strenuous. Furthermore, DBA’s unique rotor design boasts up to 20% better heat dissipation compared to conventional setups. This superior thermal management is critical for maintaining control and preventing brake fade during steep descents or heavy-duty applications.
For automotive workshops, these comprehensive brake kits represent a valuable upsell opportunity, allowing them to offer customers tangible improvements in performance, an extended service life for braking components, and increased peace of mind. End-users, in turn, benefit from potentially lower maintenance costs over time, significantly improved vehicle safety, and enhanced handling characteristics, particularly in demanding environments.
DBA’s expanded range of Upgrade Performance Brake Kits is currently in stock and available nationwide through its established distribution network. Supported by rigorous quality standards and detailed vehicle application listings, it is now easier for workshops and resellers to provide a complete, high-performance braking solution to their customers.
