[QUOTE="TheFleshRocket, post: 10973089, member: 48535"] That's just not true--I have three motorcycles in my garage with "race pad" performance even when cold, without being noisy or giving off any dust to speak of. The compound technology does exist--I just haven't found it from any company that makes car pads! I've used the Redstuff and Greenstuff pads. The Greenstuff pads were a long time ago on a Fox Mustang, but at the time, they were the grippiest pads I'd used. The Redstuff pads, I tried on my wife's 300C and they were absolutely terrible. Noisy, ridiculously dusty, no cold bite, needed to be warm to have even modest stopping power, and wore out in 10K miles of mostly gentle street driving. I wouldn't bother with cryo rotors unless you're overheating and warping or cracking yours. I destroyed (warped, blued and hairline fractures) a set of rotors on the same Fox that I had the Greenstuffs on, and I cracked a pair of drilled/slotted rotors that I had on my wife's 300C, so both cars got cryo treated rotors next. So far, the stock rotors on my Cobra stood up to track abuse with no problem. (I still had bad brake fade after several laps of hauling the car down from 130mph to 70mph at the end of the front straight at Putnam, but the rotors themselves survived fine.) [/QUOTE]
