If you're looking to upgrade your Subaru WRX 2018's braking system, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled Ring with NAS Nuts is a fantastic choice. These rotors are designed as a direct replacement, making installation a breeze while delivering exceptional performance. Let’s break down what makes these rotors stand out.
The DBA 5000 Series rotors share all the impressive features of the 4000 Series, but with some added benefits. Crafted from high carbon cast iron, these rotors are paired with aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6). This combination is held together securely with National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, ensuring durability and reliability under pressure.
One of the standout features of the 5000 Series is the use of aluminum hats, which significantly reduces the unsprung weight of your brake system. This weight reduction not only enhances handling but also promotes uniform radial disc expansion. Plus, the aluminum effectively minimizes heat transfer from the disc to the hub, allowing for better heat management during intense driving conditions.
Whether you're replacing your rotors for the first time or looking to refresh your existing setup, we’ve got you covered. The DBA 5000 Series is available as complete assemblies, which include the hats and flat discs already bolted together. If you prefer, you can also purchase replacement hats and flat disc rotors separately, allowing you to reuse your existing DBA hats with new flat discs.
This series is recommended for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, rally applications, and even show cars. If you’re serious about your Subaru WRX and want to ensure it stops on a dime, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled Ring with NAS Nuts is the upgrade you need.
Upgrade your braking experience and enjoy the confidence that comes with superior performance and quality engineering!
