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

The 2-piece design allows for a significant reduction in unsprung weight thanks to the aluminum hat. It also helps manage heat more effectively by minimizing transfer to the hub, which is crucial during demanding driving conditions.

What does the 'XD' designation mean for this rotor?

The XD designation indicates a specific finish that includes both cross-drilling and dimpling. This pattern is engineered for enhanced structural support and offers improved cooling benefits compared to standard drilled or dimpled rotors, along with a distinct sporty look.

Can I replace just the friction ring on these rotors?

Yes, DBA offers replacement friction rings (flat discs) for their 5000 Series rotors. This means you can reuse the aluminum hat and bolts for future replacements, making it a more economical choice over time for high-mileage or track-focused vehicles.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2008 or 2009 Volkswagen Touareg's braking system, especially if you push it hard on the street or track, consider these DBA 5000 Series 2-piece rotors. They're a direct replacement for your factory front rotors, but they bring a lot more to the table in terms of performance and heat handling.

What sets these apart is their two-piece construction. You get a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring, which is cross-drilled and dimpled for better cooling and gas/dust evacuation, paired with a T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hat. This combination does a couple of important things: the aluminum hat significantly cuts down on unsprung weight, which can improve how your suspension handles bumps, and it also helps to keep heat from transferring directly to your hub. The cross-drilled and dimpled pattern on the XD series is designed for enhanced structural support and improved cooling over standard drilled or dimpled designs, giving you a more consistent feel during hard braking. They're held together with strong NAS bolts and crimp nuts, built to handle serious use.

These rotors are a solid choice for high-performance street driving, track days, or even club racing. Because they're a two-piece design, you can even replace just the friction rings down the road if needed, reusing the aluminum hat. This makes them a smart long-term investment for serious braking performance.
