DO I NEED TO MAKE OTHER CHANGES TO FIT DBA PERFORMANCE ROTORS?

No, just choose the exact model DBA specifies for your car. The diameter and thickness specifications of all DBA Street Series rotors are the same as with original equipment components, so they bolt straight into the standard braking system.

The ‘minimum thickness’ (stamped onto the disc) also remains the same, as the rotor’s improved cooling properties compensate for the slightly reduced mass.
However you must remember that, as you are asking your brake system to do more work, it must be in first class condition. This means the caliper slides, caliper springs and disc brake pistons must be operating freely, while a general check of all other parts of the system is a good idea. We recommend you use brake fluid of at least Dot 4 standard and new, high quality brake pads. These can be any pads made by a recognised manufacturer, but make sure you observe the recommended ‘bedding-in’ procedures.

Equally important: if you remove and reinstall the pads for inspection, make sure you put them back the same way they came out. If reversed, the slightly raised lip of what was previously the pad’s trailing edge can catch in the groove, causing increased heat and noise.

Lastly, we don’t recommend mixing conventional and DBA Street Series rotors on the same axle. The difference in performance from side-to-side will upset the braking balance of the vehicle.
