If you're looking to upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette's braking system, the DBA 5000 Series Drilled & Slotted Ring is an excellent choice. Designed specifically for Corvettes from 1997 to 2013, these rotors are a direct replacement that fits seamlessly into your vehicle's existing setup.
The DBA 5000 Series rotors are crafted from high-quality materials that ensure they perform well even under the most demanding conditions. Each rotor features a composite two-piece design, combining high carbon cast iron rings with aerospace-grade aluminum hats (T6061-T6). These components are securely held together using National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts, which means you can trust them for reliability and durability.
While sharing the impressive performance technology of the 4000 Series, the 5000 Series takes it a step further with improved weight reduction and heat management. The aluminum hats significantly reduce the unsprung weight of your brake system, which can lead to better handling and responsiveness. Plus, they allow for uniform radial expansion of the cast iron rings, minimizing heat transfer from the rotor to the hub. This means your brakes will stay cooler, even during intense driving conditions.
Whether you're replacing your rotors for the first time or just need to swap out a worn component, we offer complete assemblies that include both the hats and flat discs bolted together. If you already have DBA 5000 Series hats, you can easily replace just the flat disc rotors (rings), making maintenance a breeze.
The DBA 5000 Series is highly recommended for high-performance street vehicles, track days, club racing, rally applications, and even show vehicles. If you want to take your Corvette's braking to the next level, these rotors are designed to meet your needs while delivering exceptional performance.
