What is included with the DBA 5000 Series brake rotor?

This product includes the complete 2-piece front brake rotor assemblies. Each assembly consists of a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring and an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat, pre-assembled with NAS bolts and crimp nuts.

Can I replace just the iron part of the rotor later?

Yes, the 2-piece design allows you to replace just the iron friction ring (flat disc) when it wears out, while keeping the aluminum hat. This can be a more cost-effective solution for future maintenance.

What is the benefit of the T3 slotting pattern?

The T3 slotting pattern on the iron friction ring helps to sweep away brake dust and gases. This keeps the pad surface cleaner, leading to more consistent braking performance and better heat dissipation, especially during demanding driving conditions.

About this part

Product Details

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 on the street, DBA's 5000 Series 2-piece slotted front brake rotors are a solid choice. What you get in this package are the complete front rotor assemblies, featuring high-carbon cast-iron friction rings paired with aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hats. These are designed as direct replacements for your stock rotors, making installation straightforward.

DBA builds these rotors with performance and heat management in mind. The T3 slotting pattern on the iron rings helps to sweep away gases and dust, which means more consistent braking power, especially during hard use. The real advantage of the 2-piece design comes from the aluminum hats. They significantly reduce the unsprung weight of the braking system, which can improve handling. Plus, the aluminum acts as a thermal barrier, reducing heat transfer from the rotor to your wheel hub, helping to keep your brakes cooler under load. These hats are fastened to the iron rings using NAS bolts and crimp nuts, a strong and reliable assembly method.

The beauty of this 2-piece design is that if you ever need to replace just the friction ring down the road, you can do so without having to buy a whole new assembly. You can simply swap out the iron ring and keep your aluminum hats. This makes them a great long-term investment for serious performance driving.
