What is a two-piece rotor and why would I replace just the ring?

A two-piece rotor has a separate rotor disc (the part the pads clamp onto) and a hat (the central hub that bolts to the car). Replacing just the rotor ring is common when the hat is still in good condition, offering a cost-effective way to refresh your braking system.

How do the T3 slots help my brakes?

The T3 slots are designed to sweep brake pad material, dust, and gases away from the friction surface. This helps maintain consistent contact between the pad and rotor, leading to more reliable braking performance and reduced brake fade.

Does this rotor ring come with the central hat or hardware?

This product is for the replacement rotor ring only. The central hat and any necessary hardware for reassembly are typically reused from your existing two-piece rotor setup or must be sourced separately.

About this part

Product Details

The T3 5000 Series rotor ring from DBA is built to be a direct replacement for the rotor disc in popular two-piece brake setups, including those on your 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette. If you're looking to refresh your braking performance without replacing the entire caliper assembly, these rotor rings are a solid option. They feature DBA's patented T3 slot design, which is a uni-directional pattern that helps sweep away dust and gas from the pad surface.

This design is important because it helps maintain consistent contact between the brake pad and the rotor, especially during hard braking. The T3 slots are engineered to work with the rotor's venting, promoting better airflow and heat dissipation. This means you're less likely to experience brake fade when you need your brakes to perform their best. These are well-built replacement rings designed to fit right into existing two-piece rotor assemblies.

When replacing just the rotor ring, ensure you're using the correct hardware and following the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for reassembly. These DBA rotor rings are a great way to restore braking performance and keep your Corvette Z06 stopping strong.
