IS250 Cryo-treat Rotors?
Great forum btw! I think I have figured out what I need for my 2014 IS250 F Sport but want to make sure I get the right rotors.
I need to do the front brakes so I was going to get:
Akebono ACT1178 Pads
and
Centric Rotors 125.44125 or 125.44125CRY
Not sure if the CRYO-Treated rotors are worth the little extra? Don't mind the cost just didn't know if it was just marketing. What have you used?

Apparently it's supposed to make them stronger I think. A quick google search says they are better for heavier applications like track use. For a daily driver I think the regular premium rotors work just fine and even for some spirited driving. Wouldn't hurt to have the cryo rotors though if it's a good price

That is what I figured but searches usually only pull up the regular Premium Centric rotors. Just didn't know if there was a reason why people weren't using them.
Hell I could get a PowerStop drilled rotor brake kit for like 315 all the way around but I know to stay away from those.

yeah, the info I got was from the StopTech site(where Centric owns anyways). You could go for those fancy EBC black rotors as well, wouldn;'t brake the bank much either I don't think

I would think so, my wifes car is a 2014 f sport but I haven't installed them yet. Got a broken leg. I did cross reference the Centric website for part numbers. Some of the retail sites are real bad about finding the correct fitment so I got the manufacturer numbers to help.

I second the opinion to stay away from the drilled stuff. That said I had the Premium Centric rotors all the way around on a Mazda 6, 3.0L and was always good about torque spec even correcting the over torque values from the knuckle heads at the tire shop and they began to pulsate the pedal and steering wheel after a bit of abuse on a canyon road.
Not to mention they had pits in the surface from a poor cast process. JM2C but I'm not using their stuff again.
Another factor tho I don't think it played a role was shipping / packaging from rockauto. Some genius loosely threw rotors and small parts in a larger box and they all sorta beat on each other en route to location.
I sent pictures and they said they'd secure heavy parts as a group to prevent this in the future.
Rotors showed no crash damage but the small parts took a beating....
