What is the benefit of the two-piece rotor design?

The two-piece design separates the cast-iron braking ring from the aluminum hat. This allows for better management of radial disc expansion and reduces heat transfer to the hub, while also lowering unsprung weight for improved handling.

What does the 'XD' finish on the rotor mean?

The XD finish refers to the non-directional cross-drilled and dimpled pattern on the rotor surface. This design is intended to provide enhanced structural support and improved cooling benefits over standard finishes, along with a sportier look.

Can I reuse these rotors if I replace the braking rings later?

Yes, DBA offers replacement hats and flat disc rotors (rings) separately. If you choose to use DBA 5000 Series rotors, you can reuse the aluminum hats with new DBA replacement rings for future brake jobs.

About this part

Product Details

Starting with the T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hats, these DBA 5000 Series rotors are built for serious performance on your 2015-2018 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Package. The two-piece design separates the braking ring from the hat, which is a key feature for managing heat and reducing unsprung weight. This setup is ideal for high-performance street driving, track days, and club racing where consistent braking is crucial.

The braking rings themselves feature a non-directional cross-drilled and dimpled pattern, known as the XD finish. This design not only looks sharp but also helps with cooling and structural support, especially under heavy braking. The high-carbon cast-iron rings are secured to the aluminum hats using NAS bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring a solid connection that can handle the stresses of spirited driving. By reducing the overall weight compared to a single-piece rotor, these DBA rotors help improve your vehicle's handling and responsiveness.

DBA offers these as complete assemblies, meaning the hats and rotors are already bolted together and ready for installation. They also offer replacement hats and rotor rings separately, so if you decide to stick with DBA for future replacements, you can reuse the aluminum hats. This makes them a well-considered choice for Mustang owners looking to upgrade their braking system for demanding conditions.
