DBA 5000 Series T3 Slotted 2-Piece Front Brake Rotor

2015–2023 Dodge Challenger

DBA53951.1S

Overview:

The DBA 5000 Series T3 Slotted 2-Piece Front Brake Rotor is a premium direct replacement rotor designed specifically for the 2015–2023 Dodge Challenger. Engineered for performance enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking power and reliability, this rotor combines the proven benefits of the 5000 Series with DBA’s patented T3 bi-directional slot design. It delivers superior heat dissipation, reduced brake fade, and consistent stopping performance under demanding driving conditions.

Ideal for street performance and occasional track use, this rotor offers a significant upgrade over factory components without requiring modifications. Its two-piece construction with M6 nuts ensures easy installation and improved thermal management, making it a smart choice for drivers who demand both style and substance from their braking system.

Key Features:

The DBA 5000 Series T3 rotor incorporates advanced design elements to optimize braking efficiency and durability. Key features include:

• Patented T3 bi-directional slot pattern for effective gas and debris evacuation
• Two-piece rotor design with high-strength aluminum hat for reduced unsprung weight
• Direct bolt-on replacement with included M6 nuts for secure fitment
• High carbon alloy iron casting for improved thermal conductivity and reduced cracking
• Enhanced heat dissipation to minimize brake fade during aggressive driving
• Precision-machined surfaces for optimal pad contact and consistent braking feel
• Corrosion-resistant coating on the rotor hat to extend service life
• Compatible with a wide range of OEM and aftermarket brake pads

Construction & Design:

The rotor features a two-piece construction that separates the braking surface from the rotor hat, allowing for better heat management and reduced weight. The rotor hats are crafted from lightweight, durable aluminum alloy, which helps reduce unsprung mass and improve suspension response. The braking surface is made from a high carbon iron alloy, providing excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to cracking under high stress.

DBA’s patented T3 slot design is engineered to channel gases, dust, and heat away from the pad surface efficiently. Unlike traditional straight or curved slots, the bi-directional T3 slots optimize pad bite and reduce glazing, resulting in consistent braking performance and improved pad life.

Installation & Fitment:

This rotor is designed as a direct replacement for the front rotors on Dodge Challenger models from 2015 through 2023. Installation is straightforward, requiring no modifications to the vehicle’s braking system. The included M6 nuts ensure a secure and precise fit between the rotor hat and braking surface. This design facilitates easier rotor replacement and maintenance compared to one-piece rotors.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system performance. The rotor is compatible with factory brake calipers and most aftermarket pads designed for the Dodge Challenger.

What's Included:

• One pair of DBA 5000 Series T3 Slotted 2-Piece Front Brake Rotors
• Set of M6 nuts for rotor hat attachment
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

This rotor is perfect for Dodge Challenger owners who want to upgrade their front braking system for improved performance and durability. It suits enthusiasts who drive aggressively on the street, participate in occasional track days, or simply desire a more reliable and stylish braking solution. The rotor’s design balances everyday drivability with enhanced stopping power, making it a versatile choice for muscle car performance upgrades.
