Frozen Rotors

When it comes time to replace your brake rotors, I encourage my friends to consider brake rotors that have been cryogenically treated. I found mine at FROZEN_ROTORS.com which is located up in Minnesota. They are most often used in fleet vehicles such as police cars and bus companies and it is said that they will last longer. Since I can not vouch for this claim, I must not make any claims here. It is said that if an OEM brake rotor will last 40,000 miles then a frozen rotor will last 60,000 miles. Again, I have no way to verify this claim. I can say without question that if you use frozen rotors, you will not generate any brake dust. Please let me repeat ........ THERE IS NO BRAKE DUST. Frozen Rotors.com is a great place to shop. You can buy the standard rotor for your car or you can buy the drilled or slotted rotors. In each case, they will sell you the correct pads to match your rotors.
