DBA 5000 XS 2-Piece Drilled and Slotted Front Rotor with Gold Hat for 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

The DBA DBA52224V2GLDXS is a 5000 Series XS 2-piece front brake rotor engineered for the 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X. The XS design combines a premium non-directional cross-drilled and slotted pattern to maximize heat dissipation and gas evacuation at the friction surface. High-carbon cast iron rotor rings are paired with an aerospace-grade aluminum hat anodized in striking gold. Thermographic heat paint on the hat changes color at 856, 1022, and 1166 degrees F, providing visual confirmation of actual operating temperatures. Sold individually; price is per rotor.

Key Features

  • Non-directional cross-drilled and slotted design — maximizes exit points for brake pad dust and gases for improved bite
  • High-carbon alloyed cast iron rotor rings — superior heat tolerance and crack resistance versus standard iron
  • Aerospace-grade aluminum gold anodized hat — DBA52224V2GLDXS signature gold finish, lightweight and corrosion-resistant
  • Kangaroo Paw venting — DBA's proprietary curved vane geometry for maximum airflow through the rotor
  • Thermographic heat paint — three-stage temperature indicator tells you when brakes are in the optimal 850-1000 degree F operating range
  • Replaceable rotor rings — only replace the rings when worn; retain the aluminum hat
  • Anti-rust paint on non-friction areas — extends appearance and service life

What's Included

  • 1x DBA52224V2GLDXS 5000 XS 2-piece front rotor with gold hat (sold individually)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: Is the DBA52224V2GLDXS sold as a pair or individually?
    A: Sold individually. Order two for a complete front axle set.
  • Q: What does the thermographic heat paint do?
    A: The paint changes color at three temperature thresholds (856, 1022, and 1166 degrees F), allowing you to verify whether your brakes are operating within the ideal 850-1000 degree F range after use.
  • Q: Can I replace just the rotor rings when they wear out?
    A: Yes. The DBA52224V2GLDXS uses replaceable rotor rings, allowing you to retain the aluminum hat and only replace the friction component.
  • Q: What is the difference between the gold hat (DBA52224V2GLDXS) and the black hat version?
    A: The part number DBA52224BLKXS uses a black anodized aluminum hat; the DBA52224V2GLDXS uses a gold anodized hat. Performance is identical; the difference is cosmetic.
  • Q: Does this rotor fit the standard Lancer (non-Evolution)?
    A: No. The DBA52224V2GLDXS is engineered for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X platform specifically, which uses Brembo front calipers with a larger rotor diameter than the standard Lancer.
  • Q: Is this rotor street-legal?
    A: Yes. The 5000 XS is suitable for high-performance street use, track days, club racing, and show applications.
  • Q: Will this cause brake noise or vibration?
    A: With proper bedding-in procedure and quality brake pads, the DBA52224V2GLDXS should operate quietly. Cross-drilled designs can produce minor noise with lower-quality pads under aggressive use.
  • Q: Does Prop 65 apply to this product?
    A: Brake components containing cast iron and metallic compounds may contain chemicals subject to California Prop 65.

Installation Instructions

Remove the front wheel and brake caliper. Support the caliper without straining the brake hose. Remove the factory rotor. Install the DBA52224V2GLDXS rotor and torque the wheel to OEM specifications. Perform a proper DBA bedding-in procedure: make 5-7 moderately firm brake applications from approximately 45 mph to 5 mph without coming to a complete stop. Allow 1-2 minutes to cool. Repeat 3 sets. Avoid aggressive braking until bedding-in is complete.

WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including nickel compounds and other metals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Brake Rotors

Brake rotors work with brake pads to bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Upgrading from worn or stock rotors to a performance or OE-quality replacement improves braking consistency, reduces fade, and restores the original factory feel. Popular ProductsPopular brake rotor choices include EBC Brakes USR slotted rotors, Brembo OE-replacement rotors, StopTech Sport cross-drilled and slotted rotors, and Centric Premium rotors for OE-quality service replacement. What is the difference between slotted, drilled, and blank rotors?Blank rotors are standard OE-style with no machining, suitable for daily drivers. Slotted rotors have channels cut into the face for debris evacuation and improved high-heat performance. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors combine both features but may crack under extreme track use. How do I know when brake rotors need replacement?Replace rotors when rotor thickness falls below the minimum spec stamped on the rotor hat, when lateral runout exceeds 0.003 inches, or...
