DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rear Rotor

2017–2026 Tesla Model 3

DBA53943BLKS

Overview:

The DBA 5000 Series 2-Piece Slotted Rear Rotor is a premium direct replacement brake rotor designed specifically for Tesla Model 3 vehicles from 2017 through 2026. Engineered for performance enthusiasts and daily drivers alike, this rotor offers enhanced braking capability while maintaining reliable, consistent stopping power under demanding conditions.

Featuring DBA’s patented T3 bi-directional slot design, this rotor improves pad bite and helps evacuate gases, dust, and water more efficiently than standard rotors. The 2-piece construction combines a lightweight aluminum hat with a high-quality iron braking surface, reducing unsprung weight and improving heat dissipation for better brake performance and longevity.

Key Features:

Designed to deliver superior braking performance and durability, the DBA 5000 Series T3 rotor incorporates advanced technology and materials:

• Patented T3 bi-directional slot design enhances pad bite and improves brake cooling by efficiently channeling gases and debris away from the rotor surface.
• 2-piece rotor construction with an aluminum hat reduces unsprung weight, improving suspension response and vehicle handling.
• High-quality iron braking surface provides excellent wear resistance and consistent friction characteristics.
• Direct bolt-on replacement for Tesla Model 3 rear brakes, ensuring easy installation without modification.
• Black finish offers corrosion resistance and a sleek, performance-oriented appearance.
• Engineered to withstand the demands of spirited driving and daily use with improved thermal management.
• Compatible with factory brake pads and calipers, maintaining OEM braking feel and performance.

Construction & Design:

The rotor’s 2-piece design features a precision-machined aluminum hat that is both lightweight and strong, paired with a robust iron braking surface. This combination reduces rotational mass, which helps improve acceleration and braking response. The aluminum hat also aids in dissipating heat away from the braking surface, reducing the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving or repeated stops.

DBA’s signature T3 slot pattern is engineered to work bi-directionally, meaning the slots are designed to optimize performance regardless of rotor rotation direction. This unique slot design improves pad cleaning and gas evacuation, resulting in more consistent braking performance and reduced brake fade.

Installation & Fitment:

This rotor is a direct replacement for the rear brakes on Tesla Model 3 vehicles from 2017 through 2026. It uses factory mounting points and requires no modifications, cutting, drilling, or special tuning. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with brake service procedures.
