DBA 5000 Drilled & Slotted Front 2-Piece Rotor w/ Gold Hat Subaru WRX 02-14 / BRZ 13-18 / Scion FR-S 13-16 | 5010GLDXS

This DBA 5000 series front brake rotor is a great factory replacement option, highly popular for show cars. It's a 2 - piece design with an Alumalite™ Gold center hat that cuts down on rotational mass and reduces heat transfer from the disc to the hub. The premium non - directional cross drilled and slotted design helps expel friction dust and gasses, giving you a quieter and more responsive pedal feel. The Kangaroo Paw 144 diamond and tear drop pillar ventilation system boosts the surface area for better heat dissipation. Made of XG150 High Carbon Alloyed Iron, it minimizes warping and cracking, extending the rotor's service life. Thermographic Temperature Monitoring, shown as heat paint markings, clearly indicates peak braking temperatures. It comes with a 12 - month or 12,000 - mile warranty from the purchase date and is sold individually (price per rotor). When the rotor wears out, you can buy the outer ring separately to cut down on long - term car operation costs. Fitment includes Subaru WRX from 2002 - 2014, Subaru BRZ from 2013 - 2018, and Scion FR - S from 2013 - 2016.

Using this DBA 5000 brake rotor is straightforward. Just install it as you would with any standard front brake rotor on your Subaru WRX, BRZ, or Scion FR - S. Make sure to follow the vehicle's service manual for proper installation. When driving, you'll notice a quieter and more responsive pedal feel thanks to the special design. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the heat paint markings. If they show high peak braking temperatures frequently, it might be a sign of hard braking or a need for more careful driving. Also, check the rotor regularly for any signs of warping or cracking. If the outer ring wears out, you can easily purchase a new one. This not only keeps your braking system in good shape but also helps save on long - term costs. Remember, the warranty is valid for 12 months or 12,000 miles from the purchase date, so if you have any issues within this period, contact the seller.
