What to Expect
The DBA 4000 Series T3 is a factory-size, one-piece rear rotor upgrade rather than a big-brake conversion. It retains the original C5 Corvette rear brake configuration while adding DBA’s performance-focused rotor material, slot pattern, ventilation, and heat-management features.
The T3 slots pass across the brake-pad surface as the rotor turns, helping maintain consistent pad contact during repeated braking. Because the slot pattern is bi-directional, DBA42995S does not require separate left- and right-side part numbers.
