What is the benefit of the T3 slotting pattern on these rotors?

The T3 slotting pattern is a bi-directional design that helps to keep the brake pads clean and free of gas and dust. This leads to more consistent braking performance, especially during hard stops or track use, and helps to reduce brake noise.

Can I reuse my existing brake pads with these rotors?

While these rotors are designed to work with a wide range of brake pads, DBA recommends using their own pads for optimal performance. Always ensure your brake pads are compatible with slotted rotors and are in good condition before installation.

What does 'unsprung weight' mean in relation to these rotors?

Unsprung weight refers to the mass of the vehicle not supported by the suspension, such as wheels, tires, and brake components. Reducing unsprung weight, like with the aluminum hat on these rotors, can lead to improved handling and a more responsive ride.

Product Details

This is the DBA 5000 Series T3 slotted 2-piece front left brake rotor, specifically made for your 2015-2021 Nissan GT-R. It's a direct replacement for your stock rotor, designed to handle the demands of high-performance street driving, track days, and club racing. The T3 slotting pattern is a key feature, helping to keep your brakes performing consistently even under heavy use.

What sets this rotor apart is its two-piece construction. It combines a high-carbon cast-iron friction ring with an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat. This design does more than just look good; the aluminum hat significantly reduces unsprung weight, which can improve handling. It also helps manage heat by allowing the cast iron ring to expand evenly and by reducing heat transfer to the wheel hub. The friction ring is held to the hat with strong NAS bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring a solid assembly that can withstand high temperatures and forces.

DBA offers these rotors as complete assemblies, ready to bolt on. You can also purchase replacement hats and friction rings separately, allowing you to reuse the aluminum hat if you ever need to replace just the friction surface. This makes it a well-built and adaptable option for GT-R owners who push their cars hard.
