Cryo-treated rotors will last 2-3 times longer than stock. Since the W208/AMG rotors are $300 a piece, spending a few extra to have them last is a sound investment.
I ordered fronts and rears.

I'm only replacing my rotors with the same exact OE rotors, just cryo-treated. Mine are 24 lbs. each (front), so they're heavy - but will last a long time.

Keep us posted Chappy. This seems like a worthwhile route. My biggest concern is the quality of the rotors themselves.
Do you know if they buy OE and then freeze them? Or if they reverse engineer them? Just curious about whether the materials and design are the same as AMG's.

I just confirmed, they are factory AMG rotors from Mercedes-Benz. Front and Rears.
I spoke with Bill, one of the owners. Very nice and less that $900 for all four, plus shipping.

awesome. sounds like a win-win situation! Let us know how the feel...
You can do a caliper/micrometer measurement beforehand...and then 50k miles down the road, measure again and lets see how they hold up!!

Hey Chappy are you getting the rotors cross drilled and slotted? If not how much do you think they will charge you to have the rears cross drilled and slotted like the front? I know on the 2004 W209 the fronts come cross drilled from the factory but the rears don't. Let me know what's up...thanks Chap!
No, I'm not.
According to their website, this is an option for additional cost.

These guys have 4Matic applications too! Awesome thanks so much I'm going to upgrade my rear rotors to drilled so they don't look so dainty next to the 6 piston brembo's I'm going to be running on the front! Thanks!!! Prices are great too!

Yeah, they are awesome, i'm glad you ended up getting them Chappy, you won't be disappointed! I had mine put on about a year ago, I got front and rear, but i had them all slotted. When I bought them, they only offered slotted, i'm not sure if they offer drilled. But they look sick and will be lasting quite some time now!
