Well I didnt even know what cryo treating was when I made that post, now that I learned more about it. I just need a place locally so I dont have to pay 80 bucks to ship the 4 rotors back and forth and wait a month for them

Haha uhm.. I would HIGHLY recommend against that. The key to cryo treating is freezing the object, and then SLOWLY in a controlled manner bringing its temperature back up so the molecules stay in their settled state. Play with liquid nitrogen yourself and you'll probably be missing a few fingers when you type in your replacement brake rotor order for the ones you just shattered.

Hardly missing fingers...
Treat the item like a hot object and you'll be fine, b/c its does the same basic damage.
To be missing fingers you would first have to freeze them solid, and freezing them is not instantaneous and painful as F*ck.
You very well could do it yourself, provided you have a lab where you can slowly freeze the rotors and bring them back up to standard temp. Most people don't have access to this, but for some people do.
Maybe try your local university; see what the engineers can cook up.
I know we can do it here at UBC.
