Frozen Rotors
Anyone use them? I'm looking into tracking my car in the very near future and am trying to build my suspension, brakes/rotors, and transmission accessories to the best of my budget and knowledge. My father said to check out frozenrotors.com and look at some of their stuff, but since he's more into BMW's and what not, I thought I'd come here and see if you guys know of any better rotors or if you have had an experience with high quality rotors and/or frozen rotors' products. Thanks!

Awesome, I'll have to do some serious time investment in that brand then. Hopefully I'll have them ordered and installed by the time the next BMW Windy City chapter goes to RA.

DO NOT USE HP+ ON A STREET CAR!!! Please don't use those... I thought it was an Evo thing, but my brother put them on his Bimmer and same problem. Every time you hit the brakes-- regardless of brake temp-- it sounds like its the apocalypse... I can't stress this matter more, UNGODLY BRAKE NOISE.
Are you using these brakes on a BMW or an Evo? And if a BMW, what kind, the HPS's are okay, but struggle to slow a heavy car quickly-often. I used them on my Evo and they were kind of wasted by the end of a track day. A BMW is pretty much in the same class of car (weight wise, calm down Evo buffs), but for some reason they're not QUITE as bad on pads. I'd recommend getting BOTH HPS and HP+ is you go with Hawk, it sounds expensive, but the HPS doesn't wear much on the street, and the HP+ stands up at the track better, better bang for the buck.

Well I won't be using the same pads all year round, I will be changing my wheel's and pads and maybe suspension during track days. If need be I'll opt with the HPS for extended life.
