Hey I'm Justin with AmericanMuscle.com and I'm taking a closer look at DBA's X gold series
cross drilled and slotted rotors, available for all 94 and newer Mustangs. DBA is a brake
rotor company that is based out of Australia and known worldwide for their innovative and
quality products. We currently offer DBA's street series which is their entry level performance
rotor, and the X gold series which I have with me now. The X gold series does offer
some additional benefits that the street series does not, such as being cross drilled and
slotted as opposed to just being slotted like the street series. So what are the benefits
of going with a drilled and slotted rotor? Well for one that drilled and slotted face
is going to improve pad bite initially and reduce fade in all braking situations. Part
of the reason the fade is reduced is because the drilled and slotted openings here on the
rotor will allow all the friction gases and debris to be rapidly removed from the friction
surface. Another unique design with the gold series and other DBA rotors is the addition
of their patented kangaroo cooling system, this is the ventilation system between the
two friction surfaces. Basically if you were to remove the front of the rotor here, you'd
see a number of diamond shaped pillars, as opposed to this traditional straight vein
or straight line design. This unique design increases surface area by up to 60% to dissipate
heat better, and increase the strength of the rotor overall, reducing warpage. Of course
the performance benefits alone are worth of admission, but you also get the appearance
benefits of running an aggressive rotor like this, there's no denying a slotted and drilled
rotor is going to look great behind any set of wheels, especially with that gold coating
to help keep things looking fresh and free of corrosion. Installing a new set of rotors
on your late model Mustang is actually pretty easy, in fact the most time consuming part
will probably be jacking the car up, and taking the wheels off, after that removing the caliper
and swapping the rotors is nothing more than a few bolts, that should only take you about
2 hours from start to finish. So if you're looking to improve a vital area of your Mustangs
braking system, while also enhancing the appearance side of things behind the wheels, then you
have to check out DBA's X gold brake rotors right here at AmericanMuscle.com
