Cryogenic Treated Rotors
For drivers who need something even tougher than a standard StopTech® Sport rotor, but are not ready for a big brake kit, StopTech offers cryogenically treated Cryo® rotors.
Cryogenic treatment is a one-time stress relief process that involves both cold and heat cycling of the brake rotor. Using a proprietary computer-controlled process over a 24-hour period, the cryo machine gradually cools the rotors down to -300 º F, then gradually brings them up to over +300º F, and finally back to room temperature. This conditioning of the rotor improves its service life, especially in fleet and emergency vehicle applications.
Any new StopTech® or Centric Premium 1-piece replacement rotor can by cryogenically treated prior to shipment. Cryo treatment typically adds 5-7 business days for processing. Contact your retailer for pricing.
Centric® Premium Rotors are blank, 1-piece, direct replacement discs for your factory brake system. These "black" rotors feature a special anti-corrosion e-coating that gives them their distinctive look and name, and are manufactured under QS and ISO quality system standards. Centric® Premium Rotors are particularly desirable in fleet or emergency vehicle applications when an upgrade to StopTech® Sport rotors is not possible.
Like many StopTech® 1-piece rotors, Centric® Premium Rotors offer several key advantages over stock rotors, E-coating, Double Disc Ground, Machined Finishes, Split Castings and Mill Balancing are just some of the processes we use.
E-Coat Finish
Centric® premium rotors utilize an electrocoating finish that provides long lasting corrosion protection. E-coating is a superior electro-statically applied finish designed to withstand 400 hours of salt water exposure without rusting. Finishes used by other manufacturers provide only minimal protection from the elements and are generally only effective for the shipping and storage portion of a rotor’s life. The addition of heat and moisture eliminates the effectiveness of many of those finishes resulting in immediate corrosion once installed in the vehicle.
Double Disc Ground Braking Surface
Nearly all Centric® premium rotors feature a double disc ground, taper free finish. Double disc grinding ensures parallelism, eliminates run out and provides near perfect disc thickness variation (DTV). Double disc grinding leaves a non-directional finish on the friction surface area for more effective pad-rotor break in. This special finish also provides quieter and smoother stops.
