If you're looking to upgrade your BMW 230I from 2018, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled Ring is a fantastic choice. Designed specifically for your vehicle, these rotors are engineered to provide exceptional braking performance while maintaining a lightweight profile.
These rotors are a two-piece composite design that serves as a direct replacement for your existing brake rotors. Crafted from premium materials, the DBA 5000 Series features high carbon cast iron rings paired with aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6). This combination not only enhances durability but also ensures optimal performance, even in the most demanding driving conditions.
Sharing the innovative technology found in the 4000 Series, the 5000 Series takes it a step further. The aluminum hats contribute to significant weight reduction and improved heat management, allowing for uniform radial expansion of the cast iron rings. This means you can enjoy consistent braking performance without the worry of overheating, thanks to reduced heat transfer from the disc to the hub.
We understand that every driver has unique needs. That’s why we offer complete assemblies for first-time replacements, which include both the hats and flat discs pre-bolted together. If you're looking to save some costs, you can also opt for just the replacement hats and flat disc rotors, allowing you to reuse your existing DBA 5000 Series hats with new flat discs.
The DBA 5000 Series is highly recommended for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, and even rally applications. Whether you're a weekend warrior or just want to make your daily drive more exciting, these rotors will certainly meet your needs.
