Description
The use of 2-piece rotors allows for greater weight reduction and allows for better cooling, which results in more consistent braking and longer life.
You can see the 3 pounds of unsprung weight difference from the OE to the 2-piece rotors.
This is for the Performance model (Akebono caliper equipped).
5000 Series shares all of the performance technology featured in the 4000 Series, with the added benefits of further weight reduction and improved heat management via the aluminium hats.
The use of aerospace grade aluminium hats reduces the unsprung weight of the brake rotors, whilst allowing for uniform radial disc expansion throughout the cast iron rings and reduced heat transfer from disc to hub via the aluminium hats.

Features
TWO-PIECE DESIGN – 1
Hat and rings sold as complete assemblies and as individual components, for more economical replacement options.
SURFACE DESIGN – 2
Symmetrical slots and/or chamfered drill holes facilitate the exit of friction dust and gasses, for a quieter and more responsive pedal feel.
DBA ALUMA-LITE – 3
Aluma-lite centre hat / bell made from extra lightweight 6061 T6 aircraft aluminium, reducing the unsprung weight for better vehicle handling and minimising heat transfer to the wheel hubs.
ANTI RUST – 4
Anodised aluminium hat to prevent rust and enhance appearance.
BI-DIRECTIONAL USE – 5
Symmetrical slotting and/or drilling for universal left/right use.
THERMAL STABILITY PROFILING – 6
Heat treatment cycles realign the microstructure of the iron, resulting in increased rotor stability and durability.
THERMAL EFFICIENCY – 7
Centre split core castings for increased heat transfer and thermal efficiency.
CBN – 8
CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) machine turned finish, minimising disc thickness variation and the potential for pad “knock” and resulting premature wear.
THERMOGRAPHIC HEAT PAINT – 9
Paint markings change colour at specific temperature thresholds to assist with the monitoring of braking temperatures and rotor fatigue.
HIGH CARBON ALLOYED IRON – 10
Formulation allows for optimal interaction with DBA’s thermal stability profiling. Increases the capacity of the rotor to handle constant and extreme heat over prolonged periods.
KANGAROO PAW – 11
Unique Kangaroo Paw vein design for up to 20% better heat dissipation, increasing braking effectiveness and prolonging brake life.
NAS BOLTS & NUTS – 12
National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts for maximum strength at minimal weight.
