5000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor

The DBA 5000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor represents a premium upgrade for performance-oriented vehicles, offering a direct replacement two-piece design. It integrates high-carbon cast-iron friction rings with T6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum hats, secured by National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts. This construction significantly reduces unsprung weight and enhances heat dissipation compared to traditional one-piece rotors. DBA recommends the 5000 Series for demanding applications including high-performance street driving, track days, club racing, and rally events. The rotors incorporate DBA's Thermal Stability Profiling (TSP), a proprietary process that subjects the XG-150 grey iron to controlled heat cycles to relieve internal stresses, improving fatigue resistance and minimizing surface cracking under extreme conditions. This process also reduces rotor fatigue during prolonged heavy braking and allows for quicker replacement with minimal bedding-in. Further enhancing their performance monitoring capabilities, the 5000 Series rotors feature DBA's patented Thermo-Graphic Heat Paint (TGHP) markings. These paint stripes change color at predetermined temperature thresholds, providing drivers with a visual indication of peak rotor temperatures. This feature aids in understanding driving style's effect on heat and making informed decisions about pad selection or driving strategy. Key features include aluminum hats for reduced unsprung weight and heat transfer, NAS bolts and crimp nuts for secure assembly, XG-150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron for durability, TSP for thermal stability, and TGHP markings for heat monitoring. Replacement disc rotors are available, and the rotors come with moisture-proof corrosion protection packaging.
