AP Sprint kit durability in road salt/magnesium chloride

[churchx]

Pat: i'd be more interested to see not cleanliness from outside .. but rather how insides of calipers/pistons look with pads removed after salty winters. Even if corrosion from outside occurs, it would be more of cosmetical issue. But if they start leaking or if pistons start sticking/dragging, that's what i'd be more wary off. Also may i ask to disassemble one rotor for better look, where iron & alu hub meats up?

The pistons got a little sticky after one year. I spoke with Essex about it and they said it was totally normal. I use a spreader to push the pistons back in and it works just fine. No leaking is apparent.
I replaced the rotor rings a few days ago. The aluminum/iron interface is perfect.
