The treatment is not expensive, but you have to ship them to someplace in the South IIRC....
The frozen rotors last significantly longer than none frozen on my car.

on my GT1 racecar I get a whole season (8 race weekends on one set of rotors).
2 sets of front pads, 1 set of rear pads for the whole season.
--
When I rane a 944 Turbo S E-stock car - between SCCA, NASA, and PCA ran 14 race weekends in one season -
For the season:
1 set of front rotors, no rear rotors.
3 sets of brake pads...
I try to use the brakes as little as possible, LOL - still too much I think...
Funny - on my GTP car i ran 2 years on the same set of endurance brake pads...

My 1985.5 944 "I" car had 87,000 miles on the stock rotors when it became a track car. 42 DE days, 18 club races later I changed the front rotors.
Doing 9 club races plus a couple of DEs a year I would change the front pads once a year and the rears every 2 1/2 years.
When you don't have much hp
you don't spend a lot of time on the brakes.

I only got 7 track days (mixed with regular driving). Had to change rotors and pads. I have GT2 brakes so that's a pricey issue.
Problem is I have a Turbo (not a GT2) so I am hauling down a lot of weight at a lot of speed. I also try to take as much advantage of track days so I am pretty much on the track as much as possible. I do Chin Motorsport events and they have lots of track time.
I just put a new set on and after two days at Sebring they are already cracking

I don't know the exact answer to the question, but I know I get a lot more out of my rotors since the list tuned me up on my braking...

Funny, the more experience I get, the longer brakes and tires last.

How in the hell do you guys run the rotors for that long?

Ahh, never mind. I thought you meant 3-4 events, not days. What pads do you run? I ran RS-19s

+1! When you drive 914's you can afford to touch the brakes if you don't want to get crushed.
