Not at this point.

Coz

2pc Rotor Sneak Peak:

I just got these in Friday, they look beautiful. These are DBA 5000 Series Discs, and our own CZP 6061-T6 Aluminum Hat. These hats are based off the same tolerances and specifications that DBA uses for all their 5000 Series 2pc Rotors. We are going to test these for 30 days, and then put them into production with a release date to follow.

With our past experience, we tried to cut down the weight as much as possible, but we kept having cracking and warping issues. So we decided to go with more durable disc, and a thicker hat. The DBA Kangaroo Paw Design provides this stronger disc, but with more material, there is more weight. The combination of the Thicker Hat and DBA Kangroo Paw Design, each front rotor will weigh 22lbs, which is still 8lbs lighter then stock. We were thinking of going with a thinner 7075-T6 Aluminum, but then the price would almost double. But we are very happy with this setup now, mainly because of the durability and quality.

Hats are bare aluminum right now, but they will be anodized black or maybe a signature color if we get enough requests. There are no plans for rear 2pc rotors at the moment. Pricing looks around $650-700 per set, or $550-600 when sold w/ a Akebono Kit. More News to come :)

Looks great, nice job with these!

does the 2 pc have a slotted with crossed drilled version as well?

DBA offers drilled/slotted, but only this configuration:

They can't offer it in the conventional drilled/slotted because of the kangaroo paw design, it would weaken the strength of the rotor if they did.

Very nice. Thanks for the update. So, if I am reading this correctly, after your testing period, you plan to put this into production for just the Fronts, right? At what point would you look to test out the Rears?

Thankz,

Those look sweet! I love the screwdriver head patter on them. That's definately worth the asthetically pleasing part! Looking forward for these to come into production!
