Default Brakes?

So My trucks brakes are shuddering I know that I have warped rotors. The rotors are also around 20% left. I am thinking that I will just replace them now and get it over with. Has anyone heard anything about Powerslot's cryogenically treated rotors. The claim is that they shed heat more efficently and last 3 to 4 times longer than non treated brakes. Now is this a bunch of bull or is this for real? It sounds good to me.

Powerslot is a well known company and I would consider any of their stuff to be good.
But i haven't heard of cryogenics until recently.
I would think that the cryo process would work well because it would increase the density of the metal and prevent micro fractures.
It would be a good investment if you do a lot of braking, like most people do.
I would say go for it,

Powerslot took the idea from a company in Minneapolis called FrozenRotors.com. Since they are copying them I would assume that crygenically freezing them is either a cheap trick that does nothing but sounds good or it actually works.
