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

A two-piece rotor system separates the braking surface (the disc or ring) from the center hat. This allows for lighter weight and better heat management. You'd replace just the ring when the braking surface is worn out, but the center hat is still in good condition, which is often more cost-effective than replacing the entire assembly.

What is the benefit of drilled and slotted rotors?

The drilled holes help to vent heat and gases away from the braking surface, preventing fade during hard stops. The slots help to keep the rotor surface clean by sweeping away brake dust and moisture, ensuring consistent grip.

Does this rotor ring come with the center hat?

No, this is a replacement rotor ring only. It is designed to be used with the existing center hat from your vehicle's original two-piece rotor assembly.

Product Details

DBA is known for making solid brake components, and their 5000 Series rotors are a popular choice for drivers looking to upgrade their stopping power. This specific part, the DBA52321.1XS, is a replacement rotor ring designed for the front of your 2009-2011 Nissan GT-R. It's built to work with existing two-piece rotor setups, meaning you can replace just the worn-out ring without needing to buy a whole new assembly.

The 5000 Series XS features a premium non-directional design that combines both drilled holes and slots. The drilled holes help dissipate heat and gas, while the slots help sweep away dust and moisture, keeping your braking surface clean and consistent. This design is particularly beneficial during hard braking or in wet conditions, helping to maintain reliable performance. The rotor ring itself is designed to be a direct replacement for the original, ensuring it fits right into your existing caliper and hub assembly.

When you're looking to replace just the rotor ring on your GT-R's two-piece setup, this DBA 5000 Series XS ring is a well-built option. It offers an improved look and performance over a standard replacement rotor, and DBA's reputation means you're getting a part designed for durability and consistent braking.
