The GB is a go for our standard discounts. 10% off of a set (2 rotors and set of pads) and 15% off all 4 (4 rotors and 2 sets of pads). Again you can check out their website for current pricing and apply the correct discount to get your pricing. At this time, they are going to be rolling out a whole new website and store this coming week. So after next week, Mark will get me a discount code for the new site. Until that time, feel free to give Mark a call and jut tell him you are part of the MNSubaru group buy. Hi Russ, I have the new site up and running. J I put in two coupons with one at 10% off for two rotors and one set of pads(fr1010). And then one at 15% off if they order four rotors and two sets of brake pads (fr1015). They will find a place for the coupon code in their shopping cart. Frozenrotors.com Mark Link 952-746-8880 Russ
Just talked to one of the people at Frozen rotors. If you plan on purchasing just rotors it's a 10% discount.
sounds good i plan to get front pads either way because the pads i want i can get through them for 5 bucks more then import has them listed for so it would be nice to just pick it all up rather then haveto wait for it 2 ship in
I went to a performance brake class on Saturday at First Gear Garage and one of the guys from Frozen Rotors was there teaching the class. I learned a lot of information (which isn't hard for me right now) but had a question after the class. So cryogentically freezing your rotors does what to them? Makes them last longer or dissipates heat faster or what?
I did too... Should have said hi to the guy with the mnsubaru lanyard! It increases longevity, supposedly. I would have liked him to go in to some high level explanation of what freezing does to the structure of the metal that specifically increases durability without sacrificing other qualities. I expect it isn't that different than annealing/tempering. Exposing metal to various temperature differences in a specific order causes the changes to internal structure yielding various qualities of strength/hardness.
Haha nice! Yea I didn't even notice, I was probably distracted by the GT3. I'm just getting into the whole Subaru thing and a few of my friends are on these forums so I thought I'd join and try to suck up as much knowledge as I can and maybe spit a little back out. Good to know though that they last longer, just how much. Obviously it's dependent on driving but as for now my car is just a daily driver. From the sounds of it you really only need frozen rotors (cost effective) if you have a high performance car with HP to back it up or are road racing. Maybe?
First post has been updated with the discount codes. As for the process. What the freezing does is align the metal molecules to create a tighter knit to the metal. That will create a more durable surface that can handle the heat better. The key basics to getting brakes that work is having something that can handle the heat (key word being heat). Biggest differences in pads is what heat ranges they work in. You can get cheap pads that will stop your car. Where the difference comes in is what happens after the 1st stop, then the 2nd stop and so on. If you never generate and real heat in the pads/rotors, cheap brakes will work. If you are always in stop and go traffic, doing track days, autocross, etc, you will want something that can handle the extra heat. As for longevity, I had 85k on the GF's lgt with cryo rotors and hawk hps pads all the way around. The rotors had over 60% life left on them. I was to lazy (and time constrained) to get them turned before I swapped out pads. The only reason I wanted to turn them was to make sure the new pads had a nice clean new surface to bed in on. And when she drives her car, she is not easy on the brakes. Stop and go traffic is go real fast and stop real fast and never left off the brake until you are ready to go real fast again. So between constantly creating new hot spots and not being generally easy on the brakes, I think they did a outstanding job. Russ
How can one argue against that? Look's like I'll be investing in some of these come time to do my brakes. Thanks!
I still can't get a straight answer from the distributor on rings. Where the hell does Stoptech get their blanks?
I take it we can just order these on our own then and still get the discount unlike previous years??? thanks again for setting this up Russ.
