Brake Kit - 5000 T3 Slotted & Xtreme Performance Brake Pads (2x DBA53148BLKS + DB15012XP)

The Ultimate Street/Track Brake Kit: DBA 5000 Series Rotors & Xtreme Performance Pads

Building a high-horsepower street car is only half the equation; taming that power is where true performance lies. If you are driving a heavily modified vehicle that dominates the streets during the week and hits the tarmac for occasional weekend track days, your factory braking system simply isn't going to cut it.

This premium DBA Performance Brake Kit is purpose-built for modern tuned cars. By combining the lightweight, two-piece DBA 5000 Series Rotors with the DBA Xtreme Performance (XP) Brake Pads, this kit delivers safe, responsive cold-bite for your daily commute, and face-melting, fade-free stopping power when you push the limits on a circuit or canyon run.

Why This Kit is Essential for High-Horsepower Street Cars

As brake specialists, we know that heavy, high-power street cars generate massive amounts of kinetic energy. Dissipating that heat quickly without compromising daily drivability is exactly what this DBA pairing is engineered to do.

DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Brake Rotors

The DBA 5000 Series is the ultimate upgrade for high-performance street cars, offering motorsport-level heat management without the harshness of a dedicated race rotor.

• Reduced Rotational Mass: The aerospace-grade aluminum hat reduces unsprung weight. This translates to faster acceleration, more responsive steering, and improved suspension dynamics on the street.
• Patented Cooling Technology: DBA’s Kangaroo Paw ventilation system uses a series of teardrop pillars inside the rotor. This cools the disc up to 20% faster than traditional straight-vane designs, preventing warping during back-to-back heavy braking zones on track days.
• T3 Bi-Directional Slots: The signature T3 slot design continually sweeps the brake pad clean and vents hot gases. Crucially for street cars, this specific slot pattern dampens vibration, providing a quieter, smoother pedal feel than aggressively drilled or heavily slotted alternatives.

DBA Xtreme Performance (XP) Brake Pads

A high-horsepower car needs a pad that works perfectly whether you are backing out of your driveway or braking from 130mph into a hairpin turn. The XP pad is the bridge between street manners and track capability.

• Exceptional Cold Bite: Unlike dedicated track pads that require heavy warming up, the XP's semi-metallic carbon fiber compound provides immediate, confident stopping power on cold mornings and during regular city driving.
• High-Temperature Fade Resistance: When you take your car to a weekend HPDE (High-Performance Driving Event), these pads shine. They maintain a high, consistent friction coefficient even as brake temperatures soar.
• Pre-Scorched for Faster Bed-In: Every pad undergoes a thermal scorching process at the factory. This significantly reduces the break-in period, meaning your brakes are ready for aggressive driving much sooner after installation.

Is This the Right Brake Setup for You?

If you drive a tuned sports car, a modern muscle car, or an aggressively modified daily driver pushing significantly more horsepower than stock, this is your ideal setup. It is specifically curated for enthusiasts who spend 80% to 90% of their time on the street, but need absolute reliability for that 10% to 20% spent carving canyons or attacking apexes at occasional track days.
