Wenn man aber eher im Süden der USA wohnt, schaut es sicher anders aus als bei uns mit dem vielen Dreck auf den Strassen (vor allem wenn man nicht so der große Pfleger ist).
Hier hab ich auch noch was von ihm zu dem Thema gefunden:

My opinion, and from manufacturing kits since 1993, is that this proves a rather moot point in the big scheme of things. For those who live in the salt belt, drive the car year round, seldom wash it, and generally take poor car of their car it is worth considering.
On the other hand if you are acitive in track days and pretty much care for your vehicle, all you need to do is keep them clean of debri, keep the pads up to a 40% or more level and do some general maintenance and they'll provide years of service.
For those in the salt area (or lazy like me at time and don't clean things) consider the replacement parts cost as well; new FSL calipers can be had for about $150ea. In the most extreme case of the need to replace them in two years time due to conditions the replacment cost of $300 would prove very small vs the return on what you get from them. I reference this as I have one customer in Michigan who has replaced his SHO kit calipers twice in 12 years as it's his daily driver and fun car. He once said it's cheaper than the rubber he goes through and a helluva lot easier than bothering to try and rebuild them for what they cost new.
But...if boots are your thing we do have the DP caliper as well.
Keep in mind that few can claim to run in a much dirtier enviroment with dust and gravel than I do. None of mine are booted. I did replace both rears due to excessive rock damage to the body this year. After five years. Can't very well show up at Pikes Peak with crappy looking parts you know...not as a dealer!
