What's the weight savings per corner over the stock rotors?

Any better cooling claims?

Can you get the rotors cryod (cryogenically treated)?

How much testing's been done on or with the rotor / hat hub match up? Any reports of hub warping, or do the rotors "float" on the aluminum hubs?

Any issues with changing out ther rotors on the hubs? e.g. bolts/nuts commonly available or are they reuseable at all? Any differences in the bolt count between the two products, or the hub rotor mounting systems?

Just some thoughts if you have any answers.

Is there any bedding of new rotors that needs to be done? Or is this just for pads?
