Default DBA Gold Series front Rotors

I've been looking for hours trying to find some DBA Gold Series front rotors. I can't find anything on this besides a bunch of people saying to buy them from Expo. No part numbers, and nothing else to go on.

Does anybody know where I can find these?

I did see those. I was just uncertain about the difference between the Gold Series and the 4000 Series.

I'm pretty sure that they aren't available for the D2 anymore but don't waste your time looking for a dimpled and slotted replacement. These trucks don't see repeated high speed stops like a car on track day so they don't need to shed gasses and heat from the pads at a rate that requires slots, holes and dimples in the rotors. In fact, all that type of rotor does is reduce the contact area for the pad making the braking power less than it could be. Standard vented rotors are a better choice and much cheaper too. If you must have slotted or dimpled rotors for the look, EBC makes some. They are anodized too so they don't rust up too quickly.

You clearly don't know how my wife drives! The DBA Gold Series has since been replaced by the 4000XS Series, and you can get those through Summit Racing. They're the cheapest around that I've been able to find.

I've been running slotted and drilled rotors for years on others, and the braking has improved over OEM. The difference being drilled vs dimpled. I plan on running DBA's with some EBC Green Stuff pads.
