Yeah, 'terrible' is a bit harsh, although you do still have to keep in mind that it's a lightweight, rear wheel drive car with very little weight on the rear. The Torsen definitely helps though, and 4 snows are mandatory. That said, I go pretty much anywhere our Jeep goes, ground clearance not included.
I was considering upgrading to the Wilwood WRX kit (12", 4 piston) in the front, but the way salt is so aggressively used here in central New England, durability of the caliper and rotor hat is a concern. The caliper uses dust boots, but they pretty much pave the roads here with salt from December to April...
EDIT: I apologize for the partial derail...this doesn't have much to do with calipers
without dust boots...still curious about durability of other anodized components though...
