Attention,
Well after ordering the Hawk "Ceramic" complete set of brake pads.
http://www.s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=97699
I decided to go and do some more Research on brake rotors.
I have done that in the past but needed and wanted to refresh my memory on them.
So did my reading and looking and made my decision.
I decided to go with Tire Rack.
I have used The Tire Rack for many-many years and like them as a vendor.
The brake rotors I decided to go with for my Brembo brake system are a little different.
Power Alloy Cryo-Treated Rotor
Long Lasting, Warp-Resistant Brake Rotors
Power Slot has developed the Power Slot Power Alloy Cryo cryogenically treated slotted rotors
for drivers who want maximum durability from their brake rotors. Although not apparent to
the naked eye, rotors treated cryogenically show significant improvements in longevity. Deep
cryogenic processing creates dramatic increases in abrasive wear resistance and durability
while also reducing residual stresses for an extra level of protection against warping. The
rotors are also double disc ground and mill balanced to ensure a consistent friction surface
and improved pad bed-in.
Serious drivers - those who tend to cross the finish line first - take their edge where they can
find it. And a growing number of them have embraced the edge that they've found in
cryogenically treated brake rotors. Here's why:
Cryogenics 101
Deep cryogenic treating is a one-time, homogenous process that permanently and
dramatically improves the performance and useful life of metals in everything from brake
rotors and performance engines to machine tools and gun barrels. Using a proprietary
computer-controlled process, the metal is cooled slowly to deep cryogenic temperatures
(-300°F), and slowly returned to room temperature, then heat-tempered as the final step.
Computer technology allows the regulation of temperatures to 1 degree, accurately
manipulating the Cryo treatment in accordance with the mass of the part it is being applied
to.
Although not apparent to the naked eye, the improvements to the metal are significant.
Deep cryogenic processing creates dramatic increases in abrasive wear resistance and
durability. The increases in tensile strength, toughness and stability couple with the release
of internal residual stresses.
How the Process Works
Deep cryogenic processing permanently refines the grain structure of metals at the atomic
level. This creates metallurgically improved and stabilized rotors that have a more dense,
smoother structure. As a result, you reduce heat and wear on brake rotors and pads.

- Rotors resist cracking, warping and fading.
- Rotors last 2-3 times longer. Fewer pads and rotors are needed.
- Rotors stop consistently and predictably.
