What is the benefit of a two-piece rotor design?

A two-piece rotor design, like this one with an aluminum hat, helps reduce weight compared to a traditional one-piece rotor. It also allows for better management and dissipation of heat, which is crucial for consistent braking performance under load.

What do the cross-drilled holes and slots do on these rotors?

The cross-drilled holes help to vent gases and heat away from the rotor surface, reducing the chance of brake fade. The slots help to sweep away dust and debris, ensuring a cleaner pad surface for more consistent grip and improved stopping power.

Does this rotor come with everything needed for installation?

This product includes the two-piece rotor assembly with the black hat. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or specific procedures required for installation on your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

DBA is known for making well-built brake components, and their 5000 Series XS rotors are a prime example of that. If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on a range of Subaru vehicles, like the Legacy, WRX, or Forester, these two-piece rotors are a solid choice. They combine advanced features with a design that's meant to handle more demanding driving conditions.

These rotors are built with a two-piece design, featuring an aluminum hat. This construction not only helps reduce overall weight, which can make a difference in how your car handles, but it also aids in dissipating heat more effectively. The XS designation means you get a premium, non-directional cross-drilled and slotted pattern. The drilling helps with cooling and can reduce brake fade, while the slots help sweep away dust and gas, keeping the pad surface cleaner for more consistent stopping power. The black hat finish adds a nice touch, and it's designed to be durable.

When you're installing these, remember they are a two-piece rotor assembly. The aluminum hat is designed to work with the rotor ring to manage heat and reduce stress. This setup is a step up from standard one-piece rotors and is often chosen by drivers who want improved braking performance for spirited driving or when carrying heavier loads. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully to get the most out of these rotors.
