Description
The DBA 08-15 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 Front Level 2 Rotor & Pad Kit combines DBA's X Street Series drilled and slotted front rotors with SP500 Street Performance front brake pads for a performance-focused upgrade to the front braking system.
The kit includes DBA2444X front drilled and slotted rotors and DB2259SP SP500 front brake pads. The combination is designed to provide improved braking response, consistent pedal feel, effective heat management, and reliable performance for street-driven and performance-oriented Dodge Challenger applications.
The DBA2444X rotors feature DBA's Kangaroo Paw ventilation system and drilled and slotted friction surface, while the DB2259SP pads use a performance-oriented friction formulation with a scorched surface to help accelerate bedding.

X Street Series Rotor Technology
The DBA2444X is part of DBA's X Street Series, designed for drivers looking for upgraded braking performance and a drilled and slotted rotor design suitable for street and performance applications.
The rotor uses DBA's Kangaroo Paw internal ventilation system to improve heat dissipation. Its drilled and slotted friction surface provides additional pathways for gases and friction debris while helping maintain consistent braking performance during demanding use.
The DBA2444X measures 360 mm in diameter and 32 mm in nominal thickness, making it suitable for the specified large front-brake application.
SP500 Street Performance Brake Pads
The included DB2259SP SP500 Street Performance brake pads are designed for drivers seeking improved braking performance without the compromises associated with an aggressive track-only pad.
The friction material is engineered for consistent pedal feel and can operate at temperatures exceeding 500°C (900°F). The pads feature a scorched finish to help accelerate bedding and are designed for low-dust, reduced-noise street performance.
DBA also lists the SP500 pads as compatible with its T2, X, T3, and XS performance rotors, making them a suitable match for the included DBA2444X rotors.
Installation
The DBAKIT20031 provides the front rotors and pads required to replace the braking components on compatible Dodge Challenger 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 front brake configuration and rotor dimensions before ordering.
