For both mechanics and drivers, reliable brakes are non-negotiable – especially when the stakes are high.
Whether it is towing a caravan packed with family gear, navigating steep mountain roads, or handling the unpredictable demands of off-road adventures, having confidence in your brakes can make all the difference.
Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) says it understands this and states its Drum-to-Disc Conversion Kit is “the ultimate solution for modernising outdated braking systems.”
Designed to meet the needs of mechanics and vehicle owners alike, DBA says this kit combines top-tier performance, durability, and ease of maintenance; ensuring safer, smoother journeys for everyone.
Why make the switch to disc brakes?
DBA says that while drum brakes may have been the standard on small cars and entry-level models for years, they’re no match for the performance and safety of disc brakes – especially when it counts.
With DBA’s Drum-to-Disc Conversion Kit, DBA says drivers and mechanics gain access to:
• Unmatched stopping power: imagine towing a fully loaded trailer down a steep descent and feeling complete control, knowing your brakes won’t let you down. Disc brakes generally deliver shorter stopping distances and consistent performance over drum brakes, giving drivers and passengers peace of mind on every trip.
• Enhanced heat resistance: long drives, heavy loads, and steep terrain can push brakes to their limits. Thanks to the enhanced metallurgy of DBA’s 4000 Series T3 Rotors and superior pads friction material, this kit resists brake fade, so you can rely on smooth, dependable stops no matter how demanding the journey, says DBA.
• Superior wet weather performance: rain, mud, or creek crossings? Unlike drum brakes that hold water and compromise braking ability, disc brakes shed water quickly, keeping you in control when conditions turn rough.
Whether you’re a driver looking to protect your loved ones or a mechanic wanting to offer clients the best solution, DBA says this kit is designed for confidence in any situation.
Simplifying maintenance for everyone
For mechanics, DBA says its conversion kit makes servicing vehicles faster and easier, while for drivers, it means less time in the shop and more time on the road, thanks to:
• Quick and simple inspections: disc brakes are far easier to check and service compared to drum brakes, with accessible pads that simplify replacements.
• Self-adjusting design: unlike drum brakes, which require frequent manual adjustments, disc brakes adjust themselves, saving time for mechanics and money for vehicle owners.
• Ease of installation: each kit comes with detailed installation instructions, simplifying the installation process thus saving workshops valuable time.
DBA says it isn’t just about convenience either, stating it is also about reliability and predictability.
DBA’s conversion kits are fully compliant with Australian Design Rules (ADR), and it states mechanics can know they will save time on brake installation and servicing, while drivers can enjoy the confidence of knowing their brakes are built for the long haul.
An upgrade which brings confidence
Australia’s roads and trails are some of the most challenging in the world. Therefore, DBA says its Drum-to-Disc Conversion Kit isn’t just a brake upgrade – it is peace of mind; and it is the confidence of knowing your brakes will work flawlessly when towing the family boat, navigating unpredictable terrain, or simply getting through the daily grind.
DBA explains that “for mechanics, it is an easy-to-install, high-quality solution which satisfies customers and builds trust. For drivers, it is a ‘life-changing improvement’ that ensures safety, reduces maintenance headaches, and delivers reliable performance day after day.”
“Don’t wait until outdated drum brakes hold you back. Upgrade to DBA’s Drum-to-Disc Conversion Kit and feel the difference every time you stop,” adds DBA.
