What is the benefit of a 2-piece rotor design?

A 2-piece rotor design, like this one, separates the friction ring from the hub assembly. This allows for better heat management, as the aluminum hat transfers less heat to the hub, and also helps reduce unsprung weight for improved vehicle dynamics.

What does the T3 slotting pattern do?

The T3 slotting pattern on this rotor ring is designed to help sweep away brake dust and gases from the pad surface. This ensures consistent contact between the pad and rotor, leading to more reliable stopping power, especially during hard braking.

Can I just buy the rotor ring if I already have DBA 5000 Series hats?

Yes, DBA offers replacement rotor rings (flat discs) that allow you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series aluminum hats. This can be a cost-effective way to refresh your braking system.

Product Details

DBA is known for making strong brake components, and their 5000 Series rotors are a prime example. If you're looking to get the most out of your 2008-2012 or 2018 Audi R8's braking system, especially for spirited driving or track days, this 2-piece slotted rotor ring is a solid choice. It's designed as a direct replacement, making installation straightforward.

This rotor ring combines a high-carbon cast-iron friction surface with an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat. This two-piece construction not only helps manage heat effectively, reducing transfer to the hub, but also significantly cuts down on unsprung weight. The T3 slotting pattern is DBA's patented design, which helps clear dust and gas away from the pad surface, ensuring consistent stopping power even under demanding conditions. You can even reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats if you're just replacing the friction rings.

This setup is recommended for high-performance street driving, track days, club racing, and rally applications where consistent and reliable braking is crucial.
