Very Nice I had them do all 4 of my 911 rotors that was 10 years ago and 15,000 track and road miles still look like new. You will love them!!

PM me with cost for our CLK55 rotors Please!

damn those really look good. i have heard about cryo treated rotors but just thought it was a gimmick. if they are holding up on the 911 there must be something to them

Cryo

rotors are just the same process that rods and pistons are treated with in high end engines.The stock rotor is frozen down to -300f and then when warmed up again is heat treated in a conventional manner.The grain structure of the metal becomes more uniform and more stable.Not cooler,just able to withstand heat and friction forces for a longer period of time.Great if you race,you will not notice anything of an improvement on the street.

They are supposed to last twice as long. Excellent value if you plan on keeping your ride.

I was

going to add that caveat.However I figured you AMG guys always kept it cool on the streets less you wanna draw the heat
I suppose akabono pads and cryo rotors could last forever

It is no gimmick!!!!!

It does work and very very well. Leyton Reese was an early user of this technology. He was running a Trans Am car. Diversified Cryogenics was one of his sponsors. He could run a full 2 races, practice and qualifying on his frozen rotors. Before he would barley get thru one race weekend.

It sold me and it really works!!!!!

This not a paid endorsement just my personal experience!!!!

I started with Performance Friction and was very disapointed. Lots of heat and fade issues poor bight as well hot or cold.

Switched to Hawk HPS compound and could not be happier.
