Description
The DBA 05-07 Toyota Tacoma / 06+ Lexus GX470 Front Rotor & Pad Kit Level 5 is a performance-focused front brake upgrade combining DBA 4000 Series T3 slotted rotors with XP650 Xtreme Performance brake pads.
Designed for compatible 2005–2007 Toyota Tacoma models with 6-lug configurations and 2006–2009 Lexus GX470 applications, this Level 5 kit is engineered to provide stronger braking performance, improved heat management, and consistent braking response during demanding street and performance driving.
The kit pairs DBA42716S high-carbon 4000 Series T3 slotted rotors with DB1482XP XP650 Xtreme Performance front brake pads. Together, the components provide a performance-oriented braking package while retaining a direct-replacement configuration for the compatible factory brake system.

4000 Series T3 Rotor Technology
The DBA42716S is part of DBA's 4000 Series T3 range and features a tri-symmetrical slot design developed to maintain consistent braking performance while helping remove friction gases and debris from the braking surface.
The rotor uses DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, which increases the internal cooling surface area compared with conventional vane designs. Combined with high-carbon alloyed iron construction and Thermal Stability Profiling, the rotor is designed to withstand repeated heat cycles and demanding braking conditions.
XP650 Xtreme Performance Brake Pads
The included DB1482XP brake pads are part of DBA's XP650 Xtreme Performance range. The pads use a semi-metallic carbon-fibre friction formulation designed to provide strong initial bite, consistent friction characteristics, and reliable performance across a broad temperature range.
The friction material is designed for demanding applications where increased braking performance is desired, making the XP650 compound well suited to performance-oriented street driving and other high-load braking conditions.
Installation
The DBAKIT50011 is designed as a direct-replacement front brake upgrade for compatible Toyota Tacoma and Lexus GX470 applications.
Install the rotors and brake pads according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures and complete the appropriate brake bedding process after installation.
Always verify the 6-lug configuration on the Tacoma and the exact brake configuration on the vehicle before ordering.
