DBA 13-17 VW Golf R (MK7) 5000 Fully Assembled 2-Piece Rotor Black Hat T3 Slotted KP Front

When you're looking to get the most out of your high-performance street car, track day vehicle, or rally car, DBA's 5000 Series 2-piece rotors are a solid choice. What you get in this package are fully assembled front brake rotors, featuring a black-finished aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat bolted to a high-carbon cast-iron rotor ring. These are direct replacement parts, meaning they're built to fit right onto your vehicle without modification. This setup is designed to handle strenuous driving conditions, offering improved heat management and reduced unsprung weight compared to traditional one-piece rotors.

The real advantage of the 5000 Series lies in its construction. The two-piece design allows the cast-iron ring to expand and contract uniformly as it heats up, which helps prevent warping. The aluminum hat plays a key role here, acting as a thermal barrier to reduce heat transfer to the wheel hub. DBA also incorporates their patented T3 slotting pattern on the rotor surface. These slots help to sweep away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor, ensuring consistent braking performance even under heavy use. The T3 slots are bi-directional, meaning they work effectively regardless of the rotor's direction of rotation.

This rotor assembly is ideal for drivers who push their vehicles hard. The combination of high-carbon iron and aerospace aluminum, held together with NAS bolts, makes for a well-built component. While these are sold as complete assemblies, DBA also offers replacement hats and rotor rings separately, allowing you to service your rotors down the line by just replacing the worn ring and reusing the hat. This setup fits a range of Audi and Volkswagen models, including the VW Golf R (MK7), Audi S3, and Volkswagen Arteon.
