What is included with the DBA 5000 Series rotor?

This product includes a complete 2-piece front brake rotor assembly. It comes with the high-carbon cast-iron rotor ring and the T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hat already bolted together, ready for installation.

What is the benefit of the drilled and dimpled design on the XD rotor?

The drilled and dimpled pattern on the XD rotor helps to improve cooling by allowing more air to pass through the rotor. It also aids in clearing out brake dust and gases that can build up during hard braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power.

Can I replace just the iron part of the rotor later?

Yes, the 5000 Series is a 2-piece design, and DBA offers replacement iron rotor rings separately. This means you can reuse the aluminum hats for future rotor replacements, which can be more cost-effective for long-term use.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your 2008, 2010, or 2011 Nissan Pathfinder with the 5.6L engine, DBA's 5000 Series 2-piece rotors are a solid choice. You get a complete assembly with the high-carbon cast-iron rotor rings already bolted to aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hats. This setup is designed as a direct replacement for your stock rotors, making installation straightforward.

What sets the 5000 Series apart is its construction. The two-piece design uses NAS bolts and crimp nuts to hold the iron ring to the aluminum hat. This allows the iron braking surface to expand and contract evenly as it heats up, which helps prevent warping. The aluminum hat also plays a key role in heat management by reducing heat transfer to the wheel hub and significantly cutting down on unsprung weight. The XD version features a non-directional drilled and dimpled pattern that not only looks sharp but also helps with cooling and clearing out gases and dust during hard braking.

This rotor is built for demanding use, whether it's for spirited street driving, track days, or club racing. Because it's a 2-piece design, you can also buy replacement iron rings separately down the line, allowing you to reuse the aluminum hats. This makes it a more economical choice for long-term performance upgrades.
