Description
Frozen Rotors® Slotted Brake Rotors by Diversified Cryogenics are designed to help improve braking performance, consistency, and reliability through precision CNC-machined slotting. This performance upgrade is suitable for a wide range of Audi and Volkswagen applications, including select A3, TT Quattro, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Beetle, and other models.
Each rotor is slotted on a CNC machining center to ensure precision and balance. The slots extend to the rotor's discard depth, allowing them to serve as a visual wear indicator. When the slots are no longer visible, it indicates that the rotor has reached its replacement point.
The slotted design helps reduce brake fade caused by gases accumulating between the brake pad and rotor surface. It also creates channels that help water escape from the braking surface, supporting more consistent braking in wet conditions. By cleaning and refreshing the brake pad surface, Frozen Rotors Slotted rotors help improve pad contact and braking bite.
Recommended for performance vehicles, trucks, and SUVs, these rotors are also a practical option for vehicles used for towing trailers or carrying heavy loads. In addition to their functional benefits, the precision-machined slots provide an enhanced, aggressive appearance.
