My question is does anyone have experience with ceramic coated rotors? I am eventually planning on purchasing the same brake set that Yuri's got on his tib and I was thinking of coating the rotor with ceramic. My inspiration for this are the ceramic brake rotors on a newer Porsche. I would think that with a decent ceramic coating they would last considerably longer and run much more efficiently. With the ceramic coating, I doubt they would ever warp due to heat and such and I don't think it would be easy to gouge them. I naturally know that they calipers would have to be adjusted accordingly. If I'm going to pay $1000 for a set of brakes, I'd like to only do it once . I hope this might give some people some ideas but I would appreciate the insight of anyone who might know that this does or doesn't work. Thanks.

 

Food for thought. After reading an article in Zoom mag on cryogenics part of which is below-

Brake rotors : denser grain structure results in increased surface contact, less cracking and less distortion. Able to survive at higher temperatures and at least last three times the life of non treated rotors.

The business in the article charged only AU$5 per kg. Which seems pretty good value.

 

The ceramic coating will wear off fast. That is why the Porsche rotors are made of ceramic, when it rubs off, there is more underneath. Cryo treating, on the other hand, will provide superior strength and heat dissapation. It is widely used in treating transmission internals.
