Default About an hour
At least that's the minimum they will likely charge you. It can be easily done in less time. Are they going to bleed the brake system too?

I beleive they will, I'm having the calipers removed to be painted, so I think they have to.

With calipers removed, expect 2 hours. The brake lines are what take the most time.

Default Somebody explain what the big deal is about "frozen" rotors?
Frozen as in they don't spin, or something else?

Default Definitely an improvement for me. Rotors were toast after 1 track event with the stockers.
Frozen rotors have 4 events on them now, going to another at the end of the month.

Cheap compared to tuner replacement rotors too. YMMV.
