Description
The DBA 08-09 Charger / Magnum / Challenger SRT8 Front Rotor & Pad Kit Level 5 combines DBA's 4000 Series T3 slotted front rotors with XP650 Xtreme Performance front brake pads for a high-performance braking upgrade.
The kit pairs DBA42444S front slotted rotors with DB2259XP XP650 front brake pads. The 4000 Series rotors feature high-carbon, heat-treated construction, DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system, and Tri-Symmetrical T3 slotting for improved thermal management and consistent braking performance.
The XP650 pads are designed to deliver strong initial bite, consistent friction across a broad temperature range, and high-temperature performance for demanding street and performance applications.
Fitment
2008–2009 Dodge Charger SRT8 – Front
2008–2009 Dodge Magnum SRT8 – Front
2008–2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 – Front
Brake Configuration: Brembo-equipped front braking system
The kit is designed for compatible SRT8 applications using the required Brembo front calipers. Verify the exact year, model, trim, and brake configuration before ordering. Current kit listings also show broader vehicle-level catalog fitment, so configuration-specific verification is recommended.

4000 Series T3 Rotor Technology
The DBA42444S is part of DBA's 4000 Series T3 range, designed for drivers seeking increased braking performance and thermal control compared with conventional OE-style rotors.
The rotor uses high-carbon, heat-treated iron and DBA's patented Kangaroo Paw internal vane design to improve heat dissipation during repeated braking.
The Tri-Symmetrical T3 slot pattern is engineered to provide consistent pad contact while helping manage friction material and gases at the rotor surface. DBA lists the DBA42444S as a front 4000 Series T3 rotor for the applicable Dodge performance applications.
XP650 Brake Pad Technology
The included DB2259XP XP650 Xtreme Performance brake pads are designed for high-performance applications where strong initial bite and friction consistency are important.
The friction material uses a Kevlar-metallic formulation designed to maintain stable braking characteristics as temperatures increase. The pads also feature a scorched friction surface to help accelerate bedding, while DBA's Thermal Stability Profiling technology improves cold friction effectiveness and reduces bedding-in time.
Installation
The DBAKIT50031 provides the front rotors and pads required to replace the braking components on compatible SRT8 applications.
For best results, install the components according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended procedures and complete the appropriate brake-pad bedding process after installation.
Always verify the vehicle's exact Brembo front caliper configuration before ordering.
