DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Front Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotor for 2009-2011 Nissan GT-R R35

The DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Front Drilled & Slotted Brake Rotor (SKU: DBA52320BLKXS, UPC: 9316391371911). Engineered for high-performance street driving, track days, and rally applications, this rotor combines advanced materials and innovative design to deliver reliable stopping power under demanding conditions. Crafted by Disc Brakes Australia (DBA), a global leader in brake rotor manufacturing, this product is designed to meet the needs of enthusiasts seeking precision and durability.

Why Choose the DBA 5000 Series Rotor?

The DBA 5000 Series rotor stands out for its two-piece construction, featuring a high-carbon XG-150 alloyed iron rotor ring paired with an aerospace-grade T6061-T6 aluminum hat. This design reduces unsprung weight, enhances heat dissipation, and ensures consistent braking performance. The cross-drilled and slotted surface increases friction for improved bite, while the patented “Kangaroo Paw” ventilation system promotes airflow to keep brakes cool during intense use. Thermo-Graphic heat paint indicators (green, orange, red) change color at specific temperature thresholds (856°F, 1022°F, 1166°F), allowing drivers to monitor brake performance easily.

This rotor is a direct replacement for the OEM Brembo front rotors on 2009-2011 Nissan GT-R R35 models, requiring no modifications for a seamless installation. It’s built for durability with National Aerospace Standards (NAS) bolts and crimp nuts securing the assembly, ensuring long-term reliability.
