Anyone using Cryo-Stop rotors?
Cryo-Stop rotors are available from the Tirerack and I'm in need of new rotors. Since the Brembo blanks are now $109 vs $70 when I bought them 2 years ago, I'm looking else where. The Cryo-Stops are $73/ea.

Dave, I have them (albiet, on a different car). What exactly do you want to know about em?
I'll be putting them on before the R&D track day, so I'll be able to give you some real feedback after that

Well, I went ahead and bought a pair (fronts). For those that don't know, these are available from the Tirerack for around $170 shipped. They're cyrogenically treated supposed to improve rotor life. The rotor hat and edges are painted with heavy duty black paint and the rotor faces are finished with hatching.
I installed them along with new OEM pads. There is something different about these rotors because at first drive I was quite worried because braking performance was non-existent as I was driving cautiously to my "bed in" area to get these things broken in. After a couple of slow speed hard near stops, the performance improved quite dramatically. Now they feel like stock, maybe not quite as grabby, but still very responsive.

I've had a great experience with my Cryo-Stops.
To follow up, they've seen their fair share of spirited drives and track days. They're heavily grooved (as expected), and will be replaced soon, but I feel I definately got my money's worth.
And yes, to confirm, these are Centric Premium (blank) rotors that have been cryo-treated.
