4.8is Brake Rotors - Cryo-treated?

I'll be in need of new rotors soon. Based on what I've read so far, I know that slotted/drilled rotors only do more harm than good. I found on another thread that people have been having positive experiences with Centric Premium rotors. I have a couple questions though:
  • Has anyone had them factory cryo-treated by Centric?
  • Has anyone sent rotors out to get cryo-treated by other companies? Any recommendations?
  • Has anyone had any experience with cryo-treated rotors in general? Anyone with experience on Frozen Rotors rotors?
  • How does Centric Premium compare with EBC's Ultimax rotors?
Also, does anyone have any recommendation for brake pads with more stopping power and lower dust (a paradox? haha)?

Thanks for the help!

I had cryo treated rotors once. I couldn't tell a difference.

Just put in some Brembo blanks and be done with it is my advice.
