What is a 2-piece rotor and why would I need a replacement ring?

A 2-piece rotor separates the braking surface (the ring) from the hub assembly (the hat). This allows for lighter weight and better heat management. You'd need a replacement ring if your current DBA 5000 Series rotor ring is worn out or damaged, and you want to reuse your existing DBA aluminum hat.

What is the difference between the 4000 and 5000 Series DBA rotors?

The 5000 Series rotors share the performance technology of the 4000 Series but add aerospace-grade aluminum hats. These aluminum hats further reduce weight and help manage heat by limiting its transfer from the cast iron ring to the hub.

Does this replacement ring come with the aluminum hat?

No, this product is only the replacement rotor ring (flat disc). You will need to have a compatible DBA 5000 Series aluminum hat already, which you will then attach this ring to using the provided hardware.

About this part

Product Details

DBA is known for making well-built brake components, and their 5000 Series rotors are a popular choice for drivers who push their cars hard. This is the replacement rotor ring for the front 5000 Series 2-piece rotor assembly, designed specifically for your 1999-2011 Chevrolet Corvette. It's a direct replacement for the flat disc part of the rotor, letting you reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series aluminum hat.

This rotor ring is made from high-carbon cast iron, which is a solid material for handling the heat generated during braking. The 5000 Series design uses an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat, which is lighter than a traditional one-piece rotor and helps manage heat better by reducing its transfer to the hub. This setup is ideal for high-performance street driving, track days, or club racing, offering improved heat dissipation compared to standard rotors.
