DBA 5000 Series Corvette C6 Z51 Brake Rotors

Corvette C6 Z51 DBA Front Brake Rotors

The DBA 5000 Series are the best brake rotors DBA offers for your Corvette C6 (2005+ excluding Z06 and Non Z51 Corvettes). They are the perfect blend of technology and art for a beautiful addition to your Corvette that provides unmatched stopping power. The DBA 5000 Series Rotors that we offer are an exact match for OEM equipment for the C6 (2005+ excluding Z06 and Non Z51 Corvettes) and can easily be installed without any additional components or modifications to your Corvette.

DBA’s high-series enhanced performance rotor features Thermal Stability Profiling for improved heat handling, Thermo-Graphic paint markings for effective heat monitoring and Kangaroo Paw ventilation which runs cooler, stronger and outperforms traditional straight vane disc rotors by up to 20%.

The 5000 series rotors are designed for the serious street driver. These 2-piece ultra-high performance rotors feature aerospace grade materials (Alumalite) for added thermal (heat) protection to your vehicle's wheel bearings, by providing greater resistance to distorion as it allows the disc to expand uniformly.

The premium cross-drill and slot pattern provides an efficient means of dispering debris and gases while maintaining consistent friction and a cleaner disc rotor.

DBA’s 5000 series range of disc brake rotors are the ultimate braking solution for the Corvette enthusiast looking for race quality performance in a product that is easily mistaken for a quality piece of modern art.

Every DBA 5000 series disc rotor is manufactured from a combination of the finest quality cast iron, aircraft grade aluminium centres, and aircraft grade mounting hardware. DBA’s intelligent utilisation of two different high grade materials provides a perfectly balanced brake design that can freely expand and contract without warping.

Featuring DBA’s patented 144 diamond and tear-drop pillar design ( Kangaroo Paw ) ventilation system the 5000 series cast iron rotor has a precise balance of material on either side of the disc which is not achievable on a standard one piece disc due to the integrated mounting bell. 

The integrated mounting bell on only one side of a traditional disc rotor produces two different heating and cooling rates which in turn generates two different amounts of thermal expansion. This differential amount of expansion leads to warped disc rotors and stress. A warped disc rotor generates more pressure on the disc pads and increases wear.

DBA was the first brake company to  introduce the heat seasoning process “TSP” and temperature monitoring system across the whole performance (or sport disc) range to ensure optimum warp free performance from the first brake application.

DBA’s precisely engineered 6061 T6 aircraft-grade aluminium mounting centres do not retain heat like cast iron. This more efficient heat loss reduces the overall temperature of the disc in heavy braking situations. Lower temperatures also contribute to less disc wear.

Quality Aircraft grade stainless steel NAS bolts compliment the union between the disc and mounting centre with maximum strength and safety guaranteed. To ensure maximum performance and safety each 5000 series disc rotor is hand finished and inspected by our team of experts.

DBA 5000 series disc rotors are available in slotted “SL/SR” for hard core performance or cross drilled and slotted “XS” for performance with style. The Slotted and Drilled rotors have a gold hat and the slotted rotors have a Black Hat.
