Default Those with Stoptech BBK, do you remove for harsh winter driving?

Don't know how the calipers, rotors, hats and bolts will hold up during upper midwest winter slop and salt. Should I put the stock stuff back on for winter, or leave it alone?

Default i didn't buy them to look pretty. I bought 'em to use.

I use them year around, but during the winter since our roads are covered in mag chloride i make sure i spray them down good when i wash the car every couple weeks. The P21s wheel cleaner seems safe on the Stoptech enamel and seems to pull the road grime from the calipers.

if you feel up to doing it, I would. I do put the old hat/rotor setup back on for winters.
