The DBA 4000 Series Standard Front Rotor for the Porsche Boxster (97-04) is a high-performance brake rotor designed to enhance stopping power and durability. Constructed from high-quality cast iron, this rotor features a vented design that improves heat dissipation during aggressive driving or heavy braking. The 4000 Series rotors are engineered for consistent performance, reduced brake fade, and long-lasting reliability, making them suitable for both street and spirited driving. Their precision manufacturing ensures a direct fit and optimal contact with the brake pads, providing improved braking response and confidence behind the wheel.
This rotor is compatible with Porsche Boxster models from 1997 to 2004, though vehicle fitment should be verified by measuring existing brake discs and pads, as fitment can vary with different brake packages. It is intended as a direct replacement for the factory front rotor, suitable for use in street driving and light track days. Installation involves standard bolt-on procedures, and the kit includes the rotor itself. Proper fitment depends on accurate measurement, and users should consult the DBA Part Finder or compare specifications to ensure compatibility with their specific vehicle configuration.

DBA's 4000 Series disc brake rotors are a direct replacement single-piece brake rotor, designed for drivers seeking upgraded performance braking in the Specifications tab and beyond standard OE levels. Cast from XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron and undergoing Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP), DBA's metallurgy is able to handle the increased stress and heat generated under intense braking applications, time and time again.
Featuring DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw ventilation that implements a series of 144 diamond and teardrop patterned pillars, DBA achieves up to a 30% increase in surface area and 20% improvement in cooling efficiency (as compared to a traditional straight vane design).
DBA's 4000 Series HD variant features a smooth OE style rotor finish, popular for drivers looking for the benefits of a 4000 Series rotor but requiring an OE style look, such as under controlled race divisions.

Features (Where Applicable):
Kangaroo Paw 144 diamond and tear drop pillar ventilation system
- Increased surface area resulting in greater heat dissipation which minimises brake fade and increases braking effectiveness and prolongs service life for both pads and rotors. Reduces mechanical damage and associated costs
XG150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron
- An increase in thermal capacity property allows the rotor to handle constant extremes of heat over extended periods of time which minimises warping and cracking and prolongs the service life of the rotor.
- Special formulation designed to respond to DBA's TSP process.
Thermographic Temperature Monitoring
- Heat paint markings change colour at specific temperature thresholds offers the driver a clear indication of peak braking temperatures.
- When temperature thresholds are exceeded paint markings will permanently change colours allowing the driver to monitor rotor fatigue and decide on rotor replacement and to assist resellers with warranty claims.
Paint protection on non-friction areas
- Reduces corrosion, enhances appearance, stops any unsightly rust formation, adds value to the product.
