DBA Cross Drilled 5000 Series Front Brake Discs – Audi RS6 (C7) / RS7 (4G) (390x36mm)
These DBA 5000 Series front brake discs are a performance-focused upgrade for the Audi RS6 (C7) and RS7 (4G). Supplied as a matched pair, they use a two-piece, cross drilled design to improve cooling, reduce weight, and give consistent braking under hard use.
What these discs do better
Standard brake discs can overheat and lose bite when driven hard, especially on fast road or track. The DBA 5000 Series discs are built to cope with high temperatures and repeated heavy braking.
- Cross drilled pattern helps vent hot gases and dust away from the pad surface for a cleaner, more consistent bite.
- Two-piece construction with a lightweight alloy centre hat reduces unsprung weight, which can improve steering response and suspension control.
- High carbon cast iron disc ring handles heat better than many standard discs, helping to reduce fade and vibration.
- DBA’s advanced vent design (Kangaroo Paw) improves airflow through the disc to help keep temperatures in check.
The result is more stable pedal feel, better control when braking from high speed, and improved resistance to brake fade when the discs get hot.
Why choose DBA 5000 Series for your RS6 / RS7
These discs are aimed at drivers who push their cars harder than normal daily use. They suit fast road driving and occasional track days, while still being usable in everyday traffic.
Key benefits include:
- More consistent braking performance during spirited driving.
- Improved cooling compared to many one-piece OE-style discs.
- Quality construction from a trusted performance brake specialist.
For best results, pair these discs with quality performance brake pads and fresh brake fluid. This will help you get the most from the extra cooling and stability these discs offer.
