Description
The DBA 05-22 Toyota Tacoma Front Level 1 Rotor & Pad Kit combines DBA Street Series ceramic brake pads with En-Shield coated front brake rotors to provide a complete OE-style replacement solution for compatible Toyota Tacoma front brake applications.
The kit pairs DBA DB1482SS Street Series Front Brake Pads with DBA2716E Street Series En-Shield Standard Front Rotors. The DB1482SS pads use a ceramic, copper-free friction formulation designed for consistent everyday braking performance, while the DBA2716E rotors feature a plain friction surface, Kangaroo Paw ventilation, and DBA's En-Shield corrosion-resistant coating.
This combination is designed for daily-driven Tacoma applications where reliable braking performance, consistent pedal feel, and corrosion protection are important.

Street Series Brake Performance
DBA Street Series brake pads are developed for the OE replacement market with three primary objectives: OE-level or better performance, application-specific friction formulations, and compatibility with DBA Street Series disc rotors.
The DB1482SS uses a ceramic, copper-free friction formulation and incorporates application-specific features including chamfers, slots, shims, post-curing, and a bedding-in stripe.
DBA recommends pairing Street Series pads with Street Series rotors to improve first-application effectiveness and reduce bed-in time.
En-Shield Rotor Technology
The DBA2716E incorporates DBA's En-Shield corrosion-resistant coating.
The En-Shield process applies a zinc/aluminum water-based coating across the rotor surface before baking it onto the rotor. This provides corrosion protection for the exposed non-friction surfaces while maintaining a clean appearance throughout service life.
The rotor also uses DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, which is designed to improve heat dissipation compared with conventional straight-vane rotor designs.
Installation
The DBAKIT10011 is designed as a replacement front brake kit for compatible Toyota Tacoma applications.
Install the rotors and pads according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures and complete the appropriate brake bedding process after installation.
Always verify the exact Tacoma model year, trim, lug configuration, and factory front brake setup before ordering.
