Seriously thanks for posting this. I am soooo torn between ST and AP... I DD my car in IL winters and the car sees road salt. I pressure wash it literally every week in winter to get that shit off and I think it makes a huge difference from a corrosion perspective. I REALLY want to DD/track the AP sprint kit due to quality and also weight. I am a huge weight Nazi...

J Ritt from Essex can you comment on the possibility of a street oriented DD/track offering that would shave weight like the sprint kit and be less susceptible to salt corrosion. If nothing is coming I may just get the sprint kit and be more anal about cleaning it in winter. Maybe like twice a week!
