DBA Street Series T2 Front Brake Disc – DBA2722S

The DBA2722S Street Series T2 brake disc is a performance-oriented replacement front rotor designed for drivers who want an upgrade over a conventional plain OE-style brake disc without moving to a dedicated competition braking system.

For UK customers, its principal application is the Toyota Land Cruiser V8 200 Series / VDJ200 fitted with the 4.5-litre 1VD-FTV turbo-diesel V8, officially sold by Toyota GB between 2008 and 2015.

T2 slotted brake rotor design

DBA’s T2 design incorporates precisely CNC-machined bi-symmetrical slots across the friction surface. These provide additional paths through which brake dust and gases can escape during braking, helping maintain effective contact between the brake pad and rotor.

DBA states that the design provides a more responsive pedal feel while its symmetrical configuration allows the rotor to be used on either side of the vehicle.

This makes the DBA2722S particularly attractive for a large, heavy vehicle such as the Land Cruiser, where braking components regularly have to manage considerable vehicle mass and heat.

Kangaroo Paw ventilation

Instead of a basic straight-vane internal structure, DBA2722S uses DBA’s Kangaroo Paw ventilation system. DBA states that this design can provide up to 20% improved heat dissipation on applicable rotors, helping manage braking temperature and potentially extending rotor and pad service life.

Improved thermal management is particularly valuable for:

• Heavy SUVs
• Repeated road braking
• Towing
• Vehicles carrying heavy loads
• Long downhill sections
• Fast road use
• Vehicles fitted with upgraded brake pads

CBN machined braking surface

DBA uses a CBN – Cubic Boron Nitride – machine-turned finish on the braking surface. This manufacturing process is intended to minimise disc thickness variation and reduce the possibility of uneven pad interaction and premature wear.

Direct replacement dimensions

The DBA2722S retains the dimensions required for its intended OE application:

• 340 mm outside diameter
• 32 mm nominal thickness
• 29 mm minimum thickness
• 83.5 mm overall height
• 112 mm centre bore
• 5 mounting holes
• 150 mm PCD

These specifications come directly from DBA’s current catalogue.

Ideal upgrade for the Toyota Land Cruiser V8

Toyota’s UK Land Cruiser V8 was powered by a 4,461cc V8 common-rail turbo-diesel, producing 286 DIN hp when introduced in 2008. The revised 2012 model produced 268 bhp / 200 kW and 650 Nm.

With the size and weight of the VDJ200 platform, good thermal control and consistent braking performance are particularly valuable.

The DBA Street Series T2 therefore makes a sensible upgrade for owners looking to buy replacement Toyota Land Cruiser V8 front brake discs in the UK while retaining factory-compatible dimensions.

Road, towing and performance use

DBA positions its Street Series as a direct-replacement braking solution for daily drivers, SUVs and light-commercial applications. The T2 version adds the performance advantages of the slotted friction surface.

For more extreme repeated high-temperature track or competition use, a higher-level DBA rotor may be preferable, but the DBA2722S is well suited to a road-driven Land Cruiser requiring increased braking confidence.

Fitting information

DBA lists two DBA2722S rotors per vehicle, one for each side of the front axle. However, the official product unit of measure is each, not a pair.

For best results:

• Replace front discs as an axle pair.
• Inspect or replace brake pads at the same time.
• Check caliper sliders, pistons and mounting hardware.
• Clean the wheel hub mating surface thoroughly.
• Measure hub run-out before installation where possible.
• Bed new discs and pads in correctly.
• Confirm the vehicle application using registration or VIN before ordering.

Please note: imported Land Cruiser 200 models may use different engines, wheel/brake packages or specifications. This UK listing is intended primarily for the officially supplied Toyota GB Land Cruiser V8 4.5 D-4D.

Technical Specifications

These figures use DBA’s current official specification rather than third-party listings; some aftermarket catalogues incorrectly quote the minimum thickness as 30 mm, whereas DBA currently specifies 29 mm.

Vehicle Fitment / Compatibility – UK Market

Verified UK fitment

Toyota Land Cruiser V8 / 200 Series (VDJ200)
2008-2015
4.5 D-4D V8 Twin-Turbo Diesel – 1VD-FTV
Front axle

Toyota GB confirms the Land Cruiser V8 / 200 Series was officially offered in the UK between 2008 and 2015 and that it was sold here as a single high-specification model.

Toyota documentation confirms the UK 4.5-litre diesel capacity as 4,461cc, while Toyota technical documentation identifies the engine as 1VD-FTV.

Important fitment distinction

International DBA databases also associate DBA2722S with petrol Land Cruiser 200 variants and the Lexus LX570. Those applications are not being added to the UK fitment table, because they were principally overseas-market vehicles rather than Toyota/Lexus UK’s normal supplied models.

That restriction will make your UK vehicle filter cleaner and reduce incorrect orders.

FAQ

Does DBA2722S fit a UK Toyota Land Cruiser V8?

Yes. DBA2722S is suitable for the front braking application found on the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series, and the relevant UK-market model was the Land Cruiser V8 sold between 2008 and 2015 with the 4.5 D-4D diesel engine.

Which engine does the UK Land Cruiser V8 use?

The UK Land Cruiser V8 uses Toyota’s 4,461cc 1VD-FTV V8 turbo-diesel engine.

What size is the DBA2722S brake disc?

The DBA2722S measures 340 mm in diameter and 32 mm thick, with an overall height of 83.5 mm, 112 mm centre bore and 5 × 150 mm mounting pattern.

Is DBA2722S a front or rear brake disc?

It is a front axle brake disc. DBA specifies two discs per vehicle.

Does DBA2722S come as a pair?

No. DBA’s official catalogue lists DBA2722S with a unit of measure of each. Two are required to replace both front brake discs. Your WooCommerce quantity should therefore be set to 1 disc per item ordered unless you deliberately create a separate pair/bundle SKU.

What is the advantage of DBA T2 slotted discs?

The T2 slots provide additional escape paths for friction dust and gases and are designed to improve brake pad bite and pedal response compared with a conventional plain rotor.

Are DBA2722S discs suitable for towing?

The Street Series is designed for applications including SUVs and everyday road vehicles. Combined with the T2 slot pattern and ventilated construction, DBA2722S is a sensible upgrade for a Land Cruiser used for road driving, load carrying or towing. Driving style, vehicle weight and pad choice should still be considered when selecting a complete brake setup.

Will DBA2722S fit an imported petrol Land Cruiser 200 or Lexus LX570?

DBA2722S appears in international catalogues for several petrol Land Cruiser 200 and LX570 applications, but those are not included in this UK-specific listing. For an imported vehicle, compatibility should be confirmed from the VIN, original brake disc dimensions and OE part number before ordering.
