[s-cars] Making the Disc Brakes harder and stronger

[Fabryce]

We ran cryo treated rotors on our grand am S4's and other race cars and
under racing conditions the rotors did in fact last longer and were less
likely to warp..

Normally we would go threw a set of rotors in a weekend. With the rotors
treated we could do a a weekend of racing and practice the next weekend. We
would be able to go 2 weekends of racing , however since rotors tend to be
consumable's when it comes to racing we elected to replace them for every
new race.
