• Optimized for Performance Pads: Works exceptionally well with a wide range of brake pads, including performance and street compounds.

Construction & Design:

The DBA 5000 Series rotor features a two-piece design that separates the rotor ring from the aluminum hat. This construction reduces overall weight, which benefits suspension response and vehicle handling. The rotor ring is crafted from high-grade cast iron, known for its excellent thermal conductivity and wear resistance. The aluminum hat is precision-machined and anodized with a durable black finish to resist corrosion and maintain structural integrity over time.

DBA’s patented T3 slot pattern is engineered to be bi-directional, meaning it effectively channels gases and debris away from the pad surface regardless of rotor rotation direction. This unique slot design improves pad bite and reduces the risk of glazing, ensuring consistent braking performance in all conditions.
