DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Brake Rotor for 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 and 2005-2013 Corvette C6
For Chevrolet Corvette owners seeking a direct replacement rear brake rotor that delivers consistent stopping power under demanding conditions, the DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Brake Rotor stands out as the reliable option. This single-piece rotor upgrades your C5 or C6's braking system with advanced engineering that manages heat buildup and stress more effectively than factory rotors, ensuring dependable performance on street drives, spirited runs, or track sessions. Drivers consistently report smoother pedal feel and reduced fade during repeated hard stops, making this rotor the practical pick for maintaining control in high-heat scenarios.
Precise Vehicle Fitment
This rotor is engineered for exact rear axle compatibility on the following models:
- 1997-2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 (all trims, including base, Z06, and 50th Anniversary Edition)
- 2005-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C6 (base models with standard brake package; excludes Z06, ZR1, or Grand Sport with upgraded brakes)
It bolts directly onto OEM hubs with no modifications required, matching the 5 x 4.75-inch bolt pattern for a seamless installation. Verify your specific trim for compatibility, as performance variants like the C6 Z06 use different rear setups.
What's Included in Your Purchase
- 1 x DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Brake Rotor (DBA42995S) A complete, ready-to-install vented disc with black high-temperature coating on non-friction surfaces for corrosion resistance. No additional hardware, pads, or accessories, pairs perfectly with standard Corvette rear calipers.
This rotor is sold individually, so order two for a full rear axle replacement.

These specs ensure the rotor withstands prolonged heavy braking without warping or cracking, thanks to its high-carbon composition that resists fatigue far longer than basic cast iron alternatives.
Why This Rotor Delivers Results
The DBA 4000 Series T3 sets itself apart through targeted design elements that address common braking limitations. The Kangaroo Paw internal vanes expand surface area by up to 30% compared to straight-vane rotors, channeling heat away faster to prevent fade during extended use. T3 slots sweep away brake dust and gases more efficiently, promoting even pad wear and a firmer pedal response that builds confidence on every stop. Heat-treated via DBA's proprietary TSP process, the rotor maintains structural integrity under extreme temperatures, reducing the risk of surface issues seen in lesser designs. Real-world testing shows these rotors last up to three times longer than stock in high-stress applications, providing value through fewer replacements and sustained reliability.
Backed by Disc Brakes Australia's decades of rotor innovation, the DBA42995S integrates seamlessly into your Corvette's setup while elevating its capabilities. If you're upgrading brakes on a classic C5 or daily-driven C6, this rotor offers the heat management and durability needed to keep you ahead.
