DBA 14-20 Audi A6 (w/345mm Front Rotor) Front 5000 Series Cross Drilled Rotor w/Silver Hat

DBA is known for making solid brake components, and their 5000 Series rotors are a prime example of that. If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your high-performance street vehicle, track day car, or rally car, these 2-piece rotors are a serious consideration. They're designed as a direct replacement, meaning they'll fit right onto vehicles like the Audi A6, Audi A7, and Porsche Macan without needing any modifications.

What sets the 5000 Series apart is its construction. It combines a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring with an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat. This isn't just for looks; the aluminum hat significantly reduces unsprung weight, which can improve handling. It also helps manage heat by allowing the cast-iron ring to expand uniformly and by reducing heat transfer to the hub. The 'XD' designation means these rotors feature a non-directional cross-drilled and dimpled pattern. This design not only looks sharp but also helps with cooling and structural support, especially under demanding conditions.

These rotors are built to last and perform. The friction rings are held to the aluminum hats using National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring a strong and reliable connection. DBA even offers replacement hats and flat discs, so you can reuse your 5000 Series hats if you ever need to replace just the friction ring. This makes them a smart long-term investment for serious braking performance.
