What is included with this DBA 5000 Series rotor ring?

This listing is for the replacement brake rotor ring only. It is designed to be used with compatible DBA 5000 Series aluminum hats. You will need to have the hats already or purchase them separately.

What is the benefit of the 2-piece rotor design with an aluminum hat?

The 2-piece design allows the cast iron ring to expand and contract uniformly with heat. The T6061-T6 aluminum hat reduces overall rotor weight, which lowers unsprung mass, and it also helps to insulate the hub from brake heat.

Is this rotor suitable for daily driving?

Yes, the 5000 Series HD rotor is recommended by DBA for high-performance street use. Its smooth OE-style finish is also popular for drivers who prefer a less aggressive look than slotted or drilled rotors.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with the T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hat, these DBA 5000 Series 2-piece rotors are built for performance. This composite construction helps reduce unsprung weight on your 2005-2011 Chevrolet Corvette, and the aluminum hat also helps manage heat by limiting its transfer from the cast iron ring to the hub.

These are direct replacement rotors, meaning they are designed to fit your Corvette without modification. The 5000 Series shares the performance technology of DBA's 4000 Series, but with the added benefits of the aluminum hat for further weight reduction and improved heat dissipation. This particular variant, the HD Brake Ring, features a smooth OE-style finish, making it a popular choice for those who want the performance advantages of the 5000 Series without slots or cross-drilling.

This listing is for the replacement rotor ring only. You can reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series aluminum hats with these new rings, which is a cost-effective way to refresh your braking system. DBA recommends this series for high-performance street use, track days, club racing, and rally applications.
