Beating a dead horse

I am getting the Powerslot rotors and hawk brake pads my question is:
if I am not going to be towing or driving through mountains should I spend the extra $$ and get cryo'd rotors or just get the non cryo powerslots?

Does this deal I found on ebay sound good? So far this is the cheapest I could find them.

I called Pure Diesel Power and was quoted $1100 shipped to my door in Hawaii. That was for the cryo rotors I am going to call tomorrow for the non cryo ones and compare prices. Thanks for the help

If it were me i would and am going to go with the cryo. I don't tow much but the cryo are supposed to be warp free. I am going to spend the little extra money and get the cryo so i don't have to worry about warpage and everyone on here is very pleased with them and i haven't heard one complaint. The ebay auction is for just the front, i am assuming the diesel power was for front and rear. Another place to check is tirerack.com, they had them at a low price last time i checked.

Thanks yeah Diesel Power was for front and rear and the auction on ebay was just front but also had an auction for rear as well, but they were not the cryo rotors. I will check out tirerack.com, Thanks again.

It's just my opinion, but you should get the cryo treated rotors, period.

I've read a few posts by people with regular Powerslots, and they still have warpage issues from normal, everyday use. But I have yet to read about anyone who uses cryo treated rotors, towing heavy loads, still struggling with warped rotors.

There have been quite a few posts by people who have put many thousands of miles of their cryo Powerslots with zero problems.

Call Mark at DPPI. He price-matched the best deal I could find on the internet.

I got two front rotors from him along with Hawk LTS pads.
