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

The 2-piece design uses an aluminum hat connected to the cast-iron rotor ring. This reduces unsprung weight and allows the iron ring to expand evenly with heat, preventing warping. The aluminum also helps dissipate heat away from the hub.

What does the 'XD' in the 5000 Series XD rotor mean?

The XD designation refers to the non-directional drilled and dimpled pattern on the rotor face. This design helps improve cooling by allowing gases and dust to escape more easily, which can lead to more consistent braking performance under heavy use.

Do I need to buy anything else to install these rotors?

These rotors are sold as a complete assembly with the hat and rotor ring bolted together. You will need to transfer your existing brake calipers and potentially new brake pads, which are sold separately.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2015-2018 Ford Mustang GT on the track or for spirited street driving, you know how crucial brake performance is. These DBA 5000 Series 2-piece rotors are built to handle the heat and stress that comes with demanding use, offering a significant upgrade over stock components designed for everyday driving.

DBA constructs these rotors using a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring paired with a T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hat. This two-piece design isn't just for looks; the aluminum hat helps reduce unsprung weight, which can improve handling. More importantly, it allows the cast-iron ring to expand and contract uniformly as it heats up, preventing warping. The aluminum also acts as a heat sink, reducing the amount of heat transferred to the hub and wheel bearings. The XD series features a non-directional drilled and dimpled pattern that not only looks sharp but also helps with cooling and clearing out gases and dust during hard braking, ensuring consistent stopping power when you need it most.

This is a complete assembly, meaning the hat and rotor ring are bolted together and ready for installation. Because it's a direct replacement for the factory 380mm front rotors on the Performance Package equipped Mustangs, installation is straightforward. You can also purchase replacement rotor rings separately down the line, allowing you to reuse the aluminum hats for future brake jobs.
