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

A two-piece rotor design, like this one with its aluminum hat, helps reduce unsprung weight compared to a traditional one-piece rotor. The aluminum hat also assists in dissipating heat away from the hub, which can lead to more consistent braking performance under demanding conditions.

What do the cross-drilled holes and slots do on the rotor surface?

The cross-drilled holes help to vent hot gases and heat away from the brake pad surface, preventing brake fade. The slots work to sweep away brake dust and road debris, ensuring a cleaner pad surface and maintaining optimal friction for reliable stopping power.

Does this rotor come as a pair or a single unit?

This product listing is for a single DBA 5000 Series XS front brake rotor assembly, which includes the iron friction ring and the gold aluminum hat. For a complete front axle replacement, you will need to purchase two of these rotors.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your Corvette's braking system, especially during spirited driving or track days, consider these DBA 5000 Series two-piece rotors. They're designed to handle the heat and demands of performance driving, offering a significant upgrade over stock components for your 1997-2012 C5 and C6 Corvette.

These rotors feature a unique two-piece construction, combining a high-performance iron friction ring with a lightweight, gold-finished aluminum hat. This design not only sheds weight, which is always a plus for performance, but the aluminum hat also helps dissipate heat away from the hub assembly, contributing to more consistent braking performance under load. The friction surface itself is a premium, non-directional cross-drilled and slotted design. The drilling helps to vent gases and heat away from the pad surface, while the slots work to sweep away dust and debris, ensuring a cleaner pad surface and more reliable stopping power when you need it most.

DBA has engineered these rotors to be a direct replacement for your factory front rotors, making installation straightforward. The gold hat finish adds a touch of visual appeal behind your wheels, and the overall construction is well-built for longevity and performance. If you're serious about your Corvette's braking, these DBA rotors are a solid option to consider for improved feel and fade resistance.
