I've got a set a front Girodiscs arriving this week just as my track season is winding down.

Any reason to swap back to the OEM swiss cheese rotors for winter or can I just leave the girodiscs installed year round? The car is generally only used on weekends.

edit: answered my own question. Per AP website...

"...road salt and other gunk gets wedged between the hat and iron disc ring, and it is essentially impossible to remove short of taking the disc apart. The salt eats away at the aluminum hat, eventually flaking, chipping, etc. Again, this is a problem that will be encountered on ANY aftermarket big brake kit. Also, the same sort of things happen with the caliper brackets on just about ANY aftermarket BBK. They're almost all anodized aluminum."
