What is a 2-piece rotor ring and why would I need one?

A 2-piece rotor consists of a separate friction ring (the part that contacts the brake pads) and a hat (which attaches to the hub). This design allows for weight reduction and better heat management. You would need a replacement ring if your existing 2-piece rotor's friction surface is worn out, but the hat is still in good condition.

What are the benefits of the T3 slot design?

The T3 slot design is a unique pattern that helps to keep the rotor surface clean and free of brake dust and gases. This ensures consistent contact between the brake pad and rotor, which can lead to improved braking performance and reduced brake fade, especially under heavy use.

What is the difference between the 4000 and 5000 series rotors?

The 5000 Series shares all the performance technology of the 4000 Series but adds the benefit of aerospace-grade aluminum hats. This further reduces unsprung weight and helps manage heat transfer from the rotor to the hub, making them ideal for more demanding applications.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your braking system, especially for spirited driving or track days, consider these DBA 5000 Series T3 slotted replacement rotor rings. These are designed as a direct replacement for the friction rings on a 2-piece rotor assembly, allowing you to keep your existing hats and save on cost. They fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Acura and Honda models like the Acura TSX, Honda Accord, and Acura TL.

DBA builds these rings using a high-carbon cast-iron material, known for its strength and heat resistance. They're paired with aerospace-grade aluminum hats, which significantly reduce unsprung weight compared to a full cast-iron rotor. This weight reduction helps improve handling and suspension response. The aluminum hats also help manage heat transfer from the rotor to the hub. The T3 slotting pattern is a unique design that helps keep the rotor surface clean and cool, improving braking consistency under demanding conditions. These are a solid option for drivers who push their vehicles hard and need reliable stopping power.

Since these are replacement rings, you'll reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats. Make sure you have the correct hats for your vehicle before ordering. This setup is ideal for performance street applications, track days, club racing, and rally use where consistent braking is crucial.
