DBA 15-20 Volkswagen Golf R 3.6L Front 5000 Series Cross Drilled Rotor w/Silver Hat

If you're pushing your high-performance street car, track day vehicle, or rally car to its limits, you need brake components that can keep up. This DBA 5000 Series 2-piece rotor is a direct replacement designed for demanding applications, offering significant improvements over stock. It's built to handle the heat and stress that come with spirited driving and competition, ensuring consistent stopping power when you need it most.

DBA constructs these rotors using a two-piece design. The braking ring is made from high-carbon cast iron featuring a non-directional cross-drilled and dimpled pattern. This XD finish not only looks sporty but also helps with cooling and structural support, offering better heat dissipation than standard HD finishes. The rotor hat is crafted from T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, which plays a crucial role in reducing unsprung weight. This aluminum hat also allows the cast iron ring to expand uniformly as it heats up and helps to minimize heat transfer from the rotor to the wheel hub, further aiding in heat management. These components are securely fastened together using National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring a solid and reliable assembly.

This rotor is designed to fit a wide range of performance vehicles, including models like the Audi Q3, S3, and Volkswagen GTI, Golf, and Arteon. The two-piece construction means that if you ever need to replace just the braking ring, you can reuse the aluminum hat, which is a cost-effective option for future maintenance. This rotor is a solid choice for drivers who demand more from their braking system and want to reduce rotational mass for improved overall vehicle dynamics.
