Guys,
The real question is, does the coating stay on?! There are many types of coatings, the toughest coating won't help if it cracks or flakes off. Ceramic is one of the hardest materials around short of diamond. There is no question that it will help lower sliding friction, do they have any high time engines? This comes from someone who really likes coatings. If the coating flakes off the flakes themselves are the worse than anything you could put in there.

I wasn’t able to get the website to come up. But when I did a Google on them I found that not everyone is happy with them..

Very interesting. Very low friction coefficient should make for long wear and lower heat on the apex seals. Price does not seem all that bad either.
I keep that URL for future reference.
