DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rotor (Front)

2017–2026 Tesla Model 3

DBA53942BLKS

Overview:

The DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rotor is a premium direct replacement front brake rotor designed specifically for Tesla Model 3 vehicles from 2017 through 2026. Engineered for performance enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, this rotor delivers enhanced braking capability while maintaining excellent durability and reliability.

Featuring DBA’s patented T3 bi-directional slot design, the rotor improves brake pad bite and helps evacuate gases, dust, and water more efficiently than standard rotors. This results in improved pedal feel, reduced brake fade, and consistent stopping power under a variety of driving conditions.

With a two-piece construction and a stylish black anodized “hat,” this rotor combines lightweight performance with corrosion resistance and a modern aesthetic that complements your Tesla Model 3’s advanced design.

Key Features:

The DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rotor offers a range of technical advantages that enhance braking performance and longevity:

• Two-piece rotor design with a lightweight aluminum hat reduces unsprung weight for improved suspension response and handling.
• Patented T3 bi-directional slot pattern optimizes brake pad contact and helps remove debris, gases, and moisture for consistent braking performance.
• High-quality cast iron friction ring provides excellent heat dissipation and wear resistance under demanding conditions.
• Black anodized aluminum hat offers corrosion resistance and a sleek, modern appearance that complements the Tesla Model 3.
• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory rotors, ensuring precise fitment and easy installation without modifications.
• Improves brake pad bite and reduces brake fade during spirited driving or repeated heavy braking.
• Designed and manufactured with strict quality control standards to ensure long-lasting durability and performance.

Construction & Design:

The rotor’s two-piece construction separates the friction ring from the aluminum hat, allowing each component to be optimized for its function. The cast iron ring delivers superior heat management and wear characteristics, while the aluminum hat reduces overall weight and resists corrosion.

The T3 slot design is a hallmark of DBA’s engineering, featuring bi-directional slots that enhance pad cleaning and gas evacuation. This design helps maintain consistent braking performance in wet or dry conditions and reduces the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving.

Precision machining and tight tolerances ensure a perfect fit on the Tesla Model 3’s front hubs, preserving factory brake system geometry and performance.

Installation & Fitment:

This rotor is a direct replacement for the front brake rotors on Tesla Model 3 vehicles from 2017 through 2026. It uses all factory mounting points and requires no modifications, cutting, or special tuning.

• Direct bolt-on installation
