They are supposed to brake better but there is no difference at all and they are should cool down better than standard disks, but its not true, if I stop after a ride the disc is so hot I could sizzle bacon on it and fry a few eggs on it too. Conclusion: I should have known better and so next time I will stick another Brembo back on it.

At least that is my personal impression of them, to me they are just fashion item that have made no improvement on the performance whatsoever.
Dont forget fran you are running Sintered brake pads used for motorcross , these type of pads will wear discs down quickly due to their abrasive nature, and that is why they get so hot .
