DBA 2006+ MazdaSpeed3 Front Slotted Street Series Rotor
The DBA 2962S Street Series Slotted Rotor is a high-performance direct replacement front brake rotor for 2006+ MazdaSpeed3 models. Featuring DBA's signature high-carbon construction with heat-treated surfaces and precision-machined slots, this rotor delivers superior heat dissipation, reduced brake fade, and consistent pedal feel under spirited street driving or light track use. The Kangaroo Paw internal vane design increases airflow for faster cooling, while the slotted surface cleans pads, evacuates gases, and prevents glazing for longer pad and rotor life. Bi-symmetrical slotting maintains even pad wear and minimizes noise. Ideal for MazdaSpeed3 owners seeking improved braking response, heat management, and a sporty look without the harshness of full race rotors. Sold individually (front left or right order quantity needed for pair).
