If you're looking to upgrade your Lotus Elise's braking system, the DBA 4000 Series Drilled & Slotted Rotor is just what you need. This rotor is a direct replacement for your stock part, designed specifically for drivers who want enhanced braking performance that goes beyond the standard factory levels.
Crafted from high carbon alloyed iron, this rotor is built to withstand the rigors of intense braking. Thanks to DBA's Thermal Stability Profiling, it can handle the heat and stress generated during demanding driving conditions, ensuring consistent performance every time you hit the brakes.
One standout feature of the DBA 4000 Series is its unique Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. This design includes 144 diamond and teardrop-shaped pillars, which significantly increase the rotor's surface area by up to 30%. This means better airflow and a 20% improvement in cooling efficiency compared to traditional straight vane rotors. As a result, you can enjoy more responsive braking and reduced fade during those spirited drives.
Installing the DBA 4000 Series rotor on your 2005 Lotus Elise is straightforward, making it a hassle-free upgrade. This rotor is designed to fit seamlessly with your vehicle's existing braking system, ensuring that you get the performance boost you desire without any complicated modifications.
