If you're looking to upgrade your Volkswagen Golf R's braking system, the DBA 5000 Series Cross Drilled Rotor with Silver Hat is an excellent choice. Designed specifically for the 2012-2013 model, these rotors seamlessly fit your vehicle, ensuring a hassle-free installation and optimal performance.
The DBA 5000 Series rotors are crafted as a composite two-piece direct replacement, featuring high carbon cast iron rings paired with aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6). This combination not only guarantees durability but also enhances performance, even under the most demanding driving conditions. Each rotor is securely held together with National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, providing peace of mind during every drive.
Sharing the advanced technology found in the DBA 4000 Series, the 5000 Series takes it a step further with additional benefits. The aluminum hats significantly reduce unsprung weight, leading to better handling and responsiveness. Plus, they promote uniform radial disc expansion, which is crucial for maintaining consistent braking performance.
Heat management is key when it comes to braking performance, and the DBA 5000 Series excels in this area. The design minimizes heat transfer from the disc to the hub, allowing for cooler operation and less brake fade during intense driving scenarios. Whether you're hitting the track or navigating winding roads, these rotors will keep your brakes performing at their best.
Whether you need a complete assembly for a first-time replacement or you're looking to replace just the hats or flat disc rotors, DBA has you covered. This flexibility allows you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats with new flat disc rings, making maintenance straightforward and cost-effective.
The DBA 5000 Series is highly recommended for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, rally applications, and even show cars. If you want to ensure your Volkswagen Golf R stands out both in style and performance, these rotors are a fantastic investment.
