The Cryo-treated Centric do not have directional vanes. What data are you looking for and what test bench would you use? I'm all ears.

So, as psychoazn said this is just another rotor option.

All rotors will crack eventually under the right circumstances. All you guys think THMotorsports is claiming that it WON'T CRACK but we made no such claim what so ever. All we just said, in avoidance and for more consistent rotor and brake pad wear, this should be used.

Cheap two-piece rotors? LoL..... I'll share something with you. The famous tri-angle of car racing.

1. Fast
2. Reliable
3. Cheap

Pick TWO. Cause you can only get 2 out of 3 and if you have all 3, then you're too busy making product.... not on the boards talking. Basically..... you got to Pay to PLAY.

I have NEVER made any claim that they will not crack. I'm not sure where you guys got this idea at all. Never made such a claim. Every rotor will crack eventually. It would be irresposnbile as a business to do so.

I have offered these rotors to our first 10 customer per OUR COST. I'd be happy to not make a dime on any one of them so you can all try them. I can not support our business by giving them away for free for people to try them.

We had a lot of people asking me to put them out on the market, with reluctance due to not having hard data, I did under strong demand from the community.

Once again, you guys all are under the impression I said it wont crack. No... I just said avoidance. That's all. We feel this rotor has more to offer. It's a nice way to fill in the gap from Autozone $30 rotors and 2-Piece Rotors. If you want to buy $30 rotors, go for it. I still sell those too.

Never claimed they were ANTi-CRACKING.... show me where I stated it? Just sounds like I have good marketing tactics and you all made assumptions.

GiroDisc rotors are bought rather consistently and they don't offer any data to prove they wont crack either, yet, I don't see the community asking for it. What type of data from what test bench where would you like to see from these? I'd like to know what it is the community needs for proof? And not proof that they won't crack because thats not what I'm claiming AT ALL. This is just a rotor that bridges a gap. We saw good performance from them, so we offered them, simple.

I agree with you 100%.

Call it marketing at its best but I didn't lie. F1 does use cryo freezing on plenty of their components and found it to be very useful. Believe it or not, there is a science behind cryo treatment.

I think it's safe to say you're very badly out of touch with the S2k track crowd... are you going to be using your 600whp time attack STI as your example of "we go to the track and know what we're talking about"? Your post makes it PAINFULLY clear that you do not understand why s2k rotors crack.

Unless you track an S2k, you will not understand out skepticism.

The thread title (as you titled it) says REVIEW, but I don't see any review here... there's nothing to discuss here unless you can show us data, proving it lasts longer. Many have tried before you and failed, hence our skepticism.

These look like the SOS rotors, which I said before.

I think that's good for cooling and protecting hubs.

I would consider a set for that reason.

I don't know why PM'ing vs advertising publicly should matter.

I'd assume this will be similar to the SOS rotors in price.

Probably $150 or so. It's a tough sell between $30 blanks and $600 two pieces.
If I can just swap cheap front rotors every track weekend, I'd want some estimation that the vaned ones will last 5 weekends.
