- Serviceable design allows the DBA aluminum hats to be reused with replacement friction rings

- Kangaroo Paw ventilation promotes airflow and heat dissipation
- Black anodized hats resist corrosion while providing a clean appearance behind the wheels
What to Expect
The DBA 5000 Series T3 is a factory-size two-piece rotor upgrade rather than a big-brake conversion. It retains the original C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 front calipers, pads, mounting points, and 345 mm rotor dimensions while replacing the one-piece rotor construction with separate iron friction rings and lightweight aluminum center hats.
DBA lists each DBA53928BLKS rotor at approximately 21.9 pounds, about 2.3 pounds lighter than the comparable DBA43928S one-piece front rotor. Once the friction rings eventually reach their minimum thickness, the DBA center hats can be retained and fitted with DBA53928.1S replacement rings.

- Bolt Pattern: 5 × 120 mm
- Rotor Weight: Approximately 21.9 pounds each
- Construction: Complete two-piece rotor assembly
- Vane Design: DBA Kangaroo Paw vents
- Surface Design: T3 slotted
Installation Overview
The DBA53928BLKS rotors arrive as complete two-piece assemblies with the black aluminum hats already attached to the friction rings. They install in the factory C8 Corvette Stingray Z51 front rotor locations and work with the original J55 calipers and mounting points.
Install both rotors during the same brake service, thoroughly clean the rotor and hub mating surfaces, inspect the brake pads and caliper hardware, and follow the appropriate rotor and brake-pad bedding procedures after installation.

- No transfer of the factory rotor hats is required for the initial installation.
- DBA53928.1S replacement friction rings are available separately for future rotor service.

- Does not fit C8 Corvette Stingray models with the standard JL9 brake system.
