my understanding was that the only effect cad plating had was anti-rust. The coating is so thin

that the change in the rotors rate of heat disappation should be minimal.

true...

it is an anti-corrosive coating, thats all. And pardon the stupid comment, but its only on the edges of the rotor, not the stopping surface. And the coat is thin- the rotors are dipped; its not like the cadmium is cast onto the rotors. I have them (A8 size, drilled and slotted) and am pleased.
