DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Brake Rotor for 2001-2006 Honda Civic Type R

Experience high-performance braking with the DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Brake Rotor, designed specifically for the 2001-2006 Honda Civic Type R (EP3). This rotor delivers consistent stopping power, enhanced heat dissipation, and long-lasting durability for both spirited street driving and demanding track sessions. Crafted with precision and backed by DBA’s decades of braking expertise, the T3 rotor is the ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking reliable performance tailored to the Civic Type R’s dynamic capabilities.

Why Choose DBA?

The DBA 4000 Series T3 rotor is engineered to perform under intense braking conditions, offering a refined balance of responsiveness, noise reduction, and longevity. Its innovative design features make it a standout choice for Honda Civic Type R owners:

• T3 Tri-Symmetrical Slot Design: Precision CNC-machined slots reduce vibration and noise for a smoother, quieter brake pedal feel. The slots increase out-gassing exit points, allowing brake pad friction gases and debris to escape, ensuring consistent braking performance with every stop.
• Kangaroo Paw Ventilation: Featuring 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars, this patented ventilation system increases surface area by up to 30% and improves cooling efficiency by 20% compared to traditional vane designs, reducing brake fade during aggressive driving.
• XG150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron: Constructed from premium high-carbon alloyed iron, the rotor resists warping and cracking, extending service life even under extreme heat and stress.
• Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP): DBA’s proprietary heat treatment process realigns the rotor’s microstructure, enhancing durability and resistance to thermal stress, making it ideal for prolonged heavy braking.
• Thermo-Graphic Paint Markings: Heat-sensitive paint indicators change color at specific temperature thresholds, allowing drivers to monitor peak braking temperatures and assess rotor fatigue for timely maintenance or replacement.
• Universal Slot Design: Eliminates the need for separate left and right rotors, simplifying installation and inventory.
• CBN Machined Finish: Cubic Boron Nitride machining minimizes disc thickness variation, reducing pad knock and premature wear for a smoother braking experience.
• Anti-Rust Coating: Non-friction surfaces are painted to prevent corrosion, maintaining a clean, professional appearance over time.

This rotor is a direct replacement for the OEM rear brake rotor, requiring no modifications for a seamless bolt-on installation. It pairs well with both OEM and aftermarket performance brake pads, making it versatile for daily driving or track use.

Why This Rotor Stands Out

The DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rotor is crafted for drivers who demand precision and reliability. Its advanced T3 slot design and Kangaroo Paw ventilation outperform standard OE rotors, delivering consistent braking power and reduced fade during high-performance driving. The high-carbon alloyed iron construction and Thermal Stability Profiling ensure durability, even in the most demanding conditions, such as track days or spirited street drives. The universal slot design and anti-rust coating add practicality and aesthetics, making this rotor a top pick for 2001-2006 Honda Civic Type R owners.

Installation Notes

• Compatibility Check: Due to potential variations in brake packages, measure your existing rotors and compare them to the specifications above or use DBA’s Part Finder tool (available on the manufacturer’s website) to confirm fitment.
• Installation: Designed as a direct OE replacement, this rotor requires no modifications. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper fit and performance.
• Brake-In Period: Minimal break-in is required, making it suitable for immediate use with OEM or performance brake pads.
