Question WTF...frozen rotors?

I'm bored so I'm just looking around on the net and found this...NEVER heard of frozen rotors.

http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=&perfCode=P

Frozen Rotors® by Diversified Cryogenics, Inc. The name says it all. Frozen Rotors freezes brake rotors...rock solid. Rotors are frozen at 300 degrees below zero using a deep cryogenic process that permanently changes the atomic structure of the rotor. This proprietary, 60-hour cryogenic process permanently and dramatically improves the usage life and stability of brake rotors to create a distinct advantage in tensile strength, abrasive wear-resistance and rotor longevity. As a result, frozen rotors deliver increased performance and a higher level of safety while significantly reducing braking system costs.

i've never heard of the brand frozen, but i've heard of the process of crygenically freezing metal parts, and from what i've heard, it does wonders for the parts.

You should get out more. This has been around for several years now. The Frozen Rotors brand has been around for about 2 years I believe. There's hardcore racers that have their blocks and heads cryo treated. Maybe when I'm in the market for new rotors I'll look into these more.

Jesus dude, settle down. Not all of us are able to stay on top of all the ****. Seems like I'm not the only one who hasn't heard of this.

I've read these discussions before...the final verdict was, it does nothing.

Two words to describe cryoed rotors: marketing fleece.

The cryo treated rotors that came off of my car were heavily worn just like the non cryo'd rotors I've used.
