Good stuff, Thanks! I really appreciate it when the guys with a lot of knowledge pass it around. I was surprised the hear that Brembo endorses drilled rotors on race apps. A common opinion these days is that it makes a rotor prone to cracking and may even interfere with cooling. On the other hand I dont for a minute think I can scratch the surface of Brembo's body of knowledge. As far as I can tell the Cryo treatment is pretty fuzzy performance. I also like telling folks that some of my friends are published experts, (well OK thats more than a little stretch, I've never met you but I do read your stuff...)

I'm glad you read my stuff. I was surprised about Brembo as well.

When it comes to the cyro treatment all the positive comments are anecdotal. I was really interested in what the rotor guys had to say. They didn't say it was bad. They just couldn't find anything that would justify the expense.

Nice write up. Would you happen to have one for a good bedding procedure?
