What is the difference between a 1-piece and a 2-piece rotor?

A 1-piece rotor is a single casting where the rotor friction surface and the mounting hat are one unit. A 2-piece rotor separates these components, allowing for lighter materials like aluminum for the hat and specific designs to manage heat and expansion more effectively.

What does 'replacement ring' mean for this rotor?

This means you are purchasing only the cast iron rotor disc, not the aluminum hat it attaches to. This is ideal if you already have DBA 5000 Series rotors and need to replace worn-out rings while keeping your existing hats.

What are the benefits of the aluminum hat on this rotor?

The aluminum hat significantly reduces the unsprung weight of the rotor assembly, which can improve handling. It also helps to isolate heat, allowing the cast iron ring to expand more uniformly and reducing heat transfer to the wheel hub.

Product Details

DBA is well-known for making high-performance brake components, and their 5000 Series rotors are a prime example. This is a replacement rotor ring for a 2-piece brake rotor assembly, designed to be a direct fit for your 2009-2011 Volkswagen CC. It shares all the performance benefits of DBA's 4000 Series rotors but adds further weight reduction and improved heat management thanks to its aerospace-grade aluminum hat.

This particular rotor ring is constructed from high-carbon cast iron, which is known for its ability to handle heat and resist warping. It's paired with a T6061 aluminum hat, which not only cuts down on unsprung weight but also allows the iron ring to expand uniformly as it heats up. This design helps reduce heat transfer from the rotor to the wheel hub. The 5000 Series HD variant features a smooth OE-style finish, making it a popular choice for drivers who want the performance advantages of a 2-piece rotor without the look of slots or cross-drilled holes. These rotors are recommended for high-performance street use, track days, and club racing applications.

This listing is for the replacement rotor ring only. If you need the complete assembly with the hat already attached, you'll want to look for the full rotor kit. This allows you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats if you're just replacing worn-out rings.
