Description
The DBA 07-18 Toyota Tundra Street Series Front Brake Pads are an OE-style replacement and performance upgrade designed for compatible 2007–2018 Toyota Tundra front brake applications.
Part of DBA's Street Series, the DB1838SS brake pads are developed to provide OE-level or better braking performance with an application-specific friction formulation. The pads are designed for reliable everyday braking, consistent pedal response, and improved friction performance while maintaining the characteristics expected from a street-oriented brake pad.
The DB1838SS uses a semi-metallic carbon-fibre, copper-free friction material and incorporates application-specific chamfers, slots, shims, and a bedding-in stripe to help improve braking performance, noise control, and initial stopping effectiveness.

Brake Position: Front
Application: OE-style replacement
Important: Tundra brake configurations vary by year and trim. Verify the exact brake configuration and original pad dimensions before ordering. DBA's catalog data shows the DB1838SS across multiple specific Tundra year/trim applications rather than every configuration within the 2007–2018 range.
What's Included
- 1 × DBA DB1838SS Front Street Series Brake Pad Set
1 pad set is required for one complete front axle.
Key Features
- Street Series Compound: Designed to provide OE-level or better performance for everyday driving.
- OE-Style Replacement: Developed as a direct replacement for compatible factory brake pad applications.
- Semi-Metallic Carbon-Fibre Friction: Application-specific friction material provides consistent braking characteristics.

Street Series Brake Technology
DBA developed the Street Series around three primary objectives: OE-level or better braking performance, application-specific friction formulations, and compatibility with DBA Street Series rotors.
The DB1838SS uses a semi-metallic carbon-fibre friction material selected for the application. DBA also incorporates slots, chamfers, and application-specific shims to help manage friction debris, temperature, noise, and vibration.
The Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) post-curing/scorching process raises cold friction effectiveness and helps reduce bedding-in time. The titanium-infused bedding-in stripe further increases initial friction and helps prepare the pad and rotor mating surfaces during the bedding process.
Installation
The DB1838SS is designed as a direct-replacement front brake pad set for compatible Toyota Tundra applications.
Install the pads according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures and complete the appropriate brake-pad bedding process after installation.
Always verify the Tundra's exact year, trim, brake configuration, and original pad dimensions before ordering.
