DBA 02-10 WRX / 13+ FR-S / 13+ BRZ Premium Front Drilled & Slotted 5000 Series Rotor w/ Gold Hat

If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your sport compact, consider these DBA 5000 Series XS two-piece front rotors. They're designed to fit a range of popular vehicles, including the Subaru WRX (2002-2010), Scion FR-S (2013-2016), and Subaru BRZ (2013-2022). These rotors are a significant step up from stock, offering improved stopping power and heat management for spirited driving.

What sets these rotors apart is their two-piece construction, featuring a lightweight aluminum hat. This design not only sheds weight compared to a traditional one-piece rotor, which can help with unsprung mass, but it also aids in dissipating heat more effectively. The XS designation means you get a premium, non-directional cross-drilled and slotted face. The drilling helps vent gases and heat away from the pad surface, while the slots sweep away dust and moisture, ensuring consistent braking performance even under demanding conditions. The gold-finished hat adds a touch of style and also offers some protection against corrosion.

DBA is well-known for their focus on braking technology, and the 5000 Series rotors are built to handle the rigors of performance driving. When installing these, remember they are a direct replacement for your factory rotors, making the swap straightforward. You'll notice a more solid pedal feel and improved fade resistance during hard braking compared to standard equipment.
