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

A 2-piece rotor with an aluminum hat offers reduced unsprung weight compared to a traditional one-piece cast-iron rotor. The aluminum hat also helps to dissipate heat more effectively, reducing heat transfer to the hub and potentially improving brake cooling.

What does the T3 slotting pattern do?

The T3 slotting pattern on the rotor surface is designed to help sweep away brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and the rotor. This helps maintain consistent friction and braking performance, especially under demanding conditions.

Can I replace just the rotor ring or the hat on this assembly?

Yes, DBA offers replacement hats and flat disc rotor rings separately. This allows you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats if you need to replace just the friction surface, which can be cost-effective for future maintenance.

About this part

Product Details

When you're pushing your 2009-2011 Volkswagen CC hard, especially on the track or during spirited drives, the braking system is key. DBA's 5000 Series T3 slotted rotors are a direct replacement designed to handle more demanding conditions. They feature a two-piece construction, combining a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring with a T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hat.

This two-piece design offers several advantages. The aluminum hat is notably lighter than a traditional one-piece rotor, which helps reduce unsprung weight, contributing to better overall vehicle dynamics. It also acts as a heat sink, drawing heat away from the friction ring and reducing heat transfer to the wheel hub. The T3 slotting pattern on the cast-iron ring is engineered to help clear dust and gas, ensuring consistent braking performance even under heavy use. These rotors are held together with NAS bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring a solid connection between the hat and the rotor ring.

DBA offers these rotors as a complete assembly, ready to install. For those who might upgrade the hat later or need to replace just the friction ring, DBA also offers replacement hats and flat discs separately, allowing you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats. This makes them a solid option for high-performance street driving, track days, and rally applications where braking performance is critical.
