Key Features:
The DBA 5000 Series rotors incorporate cutting-edge technology and premium materials to optimize braking efficiency and longevity. Key features include:
- Composite two-piece design with cross-drilled rotors for improved cooling and debris evacuation
- High carbon alloyed iron (XG-150) rings for enhanced thermal stability and wear resistance
- Aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6) to reduce unsprung weight and improve heat management
- National Aerospace Standard (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts ensuring secure, durable assembly
- Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP) to minimize rotor distortion and extend service life
- Thermo-graphic paint markings (THGP) for visual heat monitoring
- Direct replacement fitment for easy installation without modifications
- Moisture-proof corrosion protection packaging to maintain product integrity during storage and shipping
- Availability of replacement hats and flat disc rotors for cost-effective maintenance
Construction & Design:
The DBA 5000 Series rotors feature a sophisticated two-piece construction that separates the rotor ring from the hat. The rotor rings are crafted from DBA’s proprietary XG-150 high carbon alloyed iron, which offers superior thermal conductivity and resistance to cracking and warping under extreme heat. This material choice ensures consistent braking performance and longevity even in demanding conditions.
The hats are manufactured from aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum, a lightweight yet strong alloy that significantly reduces unsprung mass. This reduction in weight improves suspension response and overall vehicle handling. The aluminum hats also act as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer from the rotor ring to the hub, which helps maintain optimal brake system temperatures.
Assembly is completed using National Aerospace Standard (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, providing a secure and reliable connection between the rotor ring and hat. This precision engineering ensures uniform radial expansion and contraction, minimizing the risk of rotor distortion and enhancing overall durability.
Installation & Fitment:
The DBA 5000 Series Cross Drilled Front Rotor is designed as a direct replacement for the front brakes on 2005–2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Commander models. Installation requires no modifications, allowing for a straightforward swap with factory components. The rotor fits perfectly with existing brake calipers and hardware, making it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance without the hassle of custom fitting.
For first-time replacements, complete assemblies including both hats and rotor rings are available. Additionally, DBA offers replacement hats and flat disc rotors separately, enabling cost-effective maintenance and part swaps while retaining the benefits of the 5000 Series design.
What's Included:
- One pair of DBA 5000 Series cross drilled front rotors with black anodized aluminum hats
- National Aerospace Standard (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts pre-installed
- Protective moisture-proof packaging
- Installation instructions (where applicable)
Ideal For:
This rotor is ideal for Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander owners who demand enhanced braking performance for spirited street driving, track days, club racing, or rally events. It suits drivers looking to reduce unsprung weight, improve heat dissipation, and maintain consistent brake feel under high-stress conditions. The 5000 Series is also a smart choice for those who want a durable, long-lasting rotor that can be serviced with replacement parts to extend its lifespan.
