How will we benefit from this, please someone explain...I checked for my CL65 and it says it weights 20lbs...could God have answered my prayers...

, Let me not get ahead of myself...

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.

That sounds awesome!, Now do I have to send them my rotors or would they send me lighter or similar ones for my car? Thanks for your help.

Not sure, give them a buzz. If you have new rotors to send them, they may be able to work with you.

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.

da_guitarist · 04-20-2009, 03:46 PM

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.

That is my understanding, yes. I told him before I placed the order that I wanted factory rotors....said no prob.

It easier to have them pick up new OE rotors, then have them treated. Saves on shipping.

Chappy · 04-20-2009, 05:46 PM

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.

da_guitarist · 04-20-2009, 05:54 PM

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!!

Zack,

Based on my current mileage, it will be 2019 before I use them for 50K miles!!!!

EDIT: Stay tuned!! lol....

da_guitarist · 04-21-2009, 12:47 AM

haha, i figured so! Mine's been getting lots of love...I'm up to about 57k!!!

TTAMG · 04-21-2009, 01:58 AM

you think they will freeze other parts, like a crank or rods?
Edit: they will i just looked at the website. Thats awesome.

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.

AMGTestDriverNJ · 04-22-2009, 12:22 AM

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!

ctrider · 04-27-2009, 01:49 PM

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!

Good deal. Spend a little now to save a lot down the road. Got my shipping notification last night - 82 lbs. on it's way....

da_guitarist · 04-29-2009, 12:30 AM

oooh, 82 lbs? Just think of the weight savings you'd get by eliminating the brakes!
