DBA 16-18 Ford Focus RS Front 5000 Series Slotted Ring

When you're looking to get the most out of your 2016 or 2018 Ford Focus RS, especially if you're hitting the track or pushing it hard on the street, DBA's 5000 Series T3 slotted rotor ring is a solid choice. This is the replacement ring for a 2-piece rotor assembly, meaning it bolts up to a separate aluminum hat. It's designed as a direct replacement, so installation should be straightforward if you're familiar with brake jobs.

What sets this rotor apart is its construction. It uses a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring combined with an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat, held together by NAS bolts and crimp nuts. This two-piece design not only helps reduce unsprung weight, which can improve handling, but the aluminum hat also does a better job of managing heat transfer away from the rotor and hub. The T3 slotting pattern is DBA's patented design, which helps to keep the rotor surface clean and cool, improving braking consistency, especially under demanding conditions.

This is just the friction ring, so you'll need the corresponding aluminum hat to complete the assembly. DBA offers these rings separately so you can replace just the worn-out friction surface and keep your existing hats, which is a nice option for long-term maintenance.
