Default Frozen Rotors?????

I am getting ready to replace my stock pads and rotors. I have been looking into "FrozenRotors-by Diversified Cryogenics". Has anyone had any luck or used frozen rotors? I am told that the will NOT warp and they last a long time. The cost is $436.00 for all 4. Are they worth the cost? Are there better options? I use my Vette on the street NOT on the track. Thanks!!

Many CF members are very happy with Sportbrakes drilled/slotted, zinc washed for about $170 less than that.
www.sportbrakes.com

That's what I bought.

There is also another thread with a beter deal from another source

Warpped rotor are a myth. Just excess brake pad material deposited on the rotor. go to stoptech dot com and look under myths

Frozen rotors are another joke. and just big proffit for a company. Liquid Nitrogen can not penitrate more then 2 mm if even that much of iron, heck Liquid N2 does not do a good job or freezeing and preserving human tissure let alone Iron.
and the first time you hit the brakes and put any heat into the rotor you have removed any presummed benifts. ie save your money.

for very thin metals less then 2 mm it might have sound applications.

You're wasting your time and money as most of this warped rotor nonsense is exactly that; nonsense.

hmmm... does this company also claim that they stock their rotors flat on the shelf to keep them from warping too?

Don't waste your money on this crap. Just say to
