hm well there are a lot of bolts holding it on but i guess if the cracking was really bad
who knows! the funny thing is i was ready to machine them at school. i drew the solid model and generated toolpaths for a new hat ... then i found out how much a billet of aluminum 6061 cost =(
oh what a metallurgic story of galvanic corrosion, differences in thermal expansion, repeated heat cycles, fatigue, and a broken heart/wallet/rotor

I understand now. You recommend against getting Stoptech if you live in a salty climate for winter?
My car is covered in salt right now. I don't even know what colour it should be but it's the closest it will be to Casablanca White.
