DBA 5000 Series T3 2-Piece Front Slotted Rotor with Black Hat for 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 (355mm Rotor)
The DBA is a premium 5000 Series T3 2-piece front slotted rotor designed specifically for 2017–2023 Tesla Model 3 Performance and Long Range AWD models equipped with the factory 355mm front brake rotors.
This high-performance rotor features a high-carbon alloy friction ring paired with a lightweight black aluminum hat. The patented T3 bi-directional slot design improves pad bite, clears gases and debris, and delivers consistent braking performance under both street and track conditions.
The 2-piece floating construction allows the rotor ring to expand thermally, reducing stress and unsprung weight while improving heat dissipation.
Key Features
- T3 Bi-Directional Slots – Patented slot design vents gases, improves pad bite, and cleans the friction surface for fade-free braking
- 2-Piece Floating Design – Aluminum hat reduces unsprung weight by up to 2kg per corner and allows thermal expansion
- High Carbon Alloy Rotor Ring – 0.48% carbon content resists warping and cracking under high heat
- Black Alloy Hat – Powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and enhanced appearance
- Direct Fitment – 355mm x 25mm dimensions match OEM specifications for plug-and-play installation
- Improved Heat Management – Superior thermal capacity for repeated hard braking

Brake Rotors
Brake rotors work with brake pads to bring your vehicle to a controlled stop. Upgrading from worn or stock rotors to a performance or OE-quality replacement improves braking consistency, reduces fade, and restores the original factory feel. Popular ProductsPopular brake rotor choices include EBC Brakes USR slotted rotors, Brembo OE-replacement rotors, StopTech Sport cross-drilled and slotted rotors, and Centric Premium rotors for OE-quality service replacement. What is the difference between slotted, drilled, and blank rotors?Blank rotors are standard OE-style with no machining, suitable for daily drivers. Slotted rotors have channels cut into the face for debris evacuation and improved high-heat performance. Cross-drilled and slotted rotors combine both features but may crack under extreme track use. How do I know when brake rotors need replacement?Replace rotors when rotor thickness falls below the minimum spec stamped on the rotor hat, when lateral runout exceeds 0.003 inches, or...
