Hi all,
I have an '07 335i sedan sport w/ 74k miles. I assume rotors have never been changed and pads are due to be changed so I might as well get both.

I have a chance to get some decently priced StopTech Cryo-SportStop Drilled Rotors. ($89 front, $79 rear) Reviews seem decent on these here. Seems like a good deal and look cool. I don't want to spend OEM prices. (my wifes car is due for both as well so money is a little tight) I do NOT track my car, I drive hard occasionally but wouldn't say I pound on the brakes. I've read here drilled rotors can crack.

So, my questions:
1. Do you think they'll crack under street conditions w/ occiasonal spirted driving?
2. What's the difference between Cryo and non-Cryo? The non-Cryo's are even cheaper.
3. What's a decent pad that will give OEM bite with these rotors? Preferrably low dust?

Thanks for the help!

Highly doubt they will crack. I love mine.

cryo is flash frozen to extreme temps this hardens them even further.

Im running Hawks HPS pads with mine and have zero complaints.

the only chance of them cracking is due to a huge temperature changes. if you're using them as daily driver you will be fine.

op would you mind telling us were you are getting your rotors from?

+1 Beat me to it.....I was about to pull the trigger on these very same rotors but at a slightly higher price......

My boss has a dealer license for tirerack wholesale so I'm getting through him.

I bought mine from tirerack

No issues at all on my end. They are no louder than OEM. Zero squealing.

Sweet...I might go this route....I've just read SOOOOOO many threads about noises from "Other" pads than OEM...

Did you get the cryogenic?

Yes sir. I was worried about noise also. I loaded up the pads with break grease and it worked great.
