I've had no bad dealings whatsoever with this firm, but this sounds a bit silly.

quote:"Heat is also desplaced at a much quicker rate helping prevent the posibility of brake fade due to heat."

When it comes to brakes, you DO NOT want the piston to displace heat quick as this boils the fluid. The verb is also spelled incorrectly. Also, I don't think that the interia of the weight of the piston is that important, hahah, what a bunch of pub-talkers.

Hi,
I'm sure it'll still chip, then watch your pistons go all furry!

on a brighter note, i have some of the early MSC alloy 4 pots with alloy pistons, never touched them in 14 years, and never had a problem with overheating brakes,,

Wot a load of crap, i would have thought when the brakes were super hot the expansion rates of the alloy and the cast iron would cause some clearance issues. I have never seen anything go wrong with stainless pistons, they don't rust and anyone that anal about weight shouldn't have standard cast calipers still in the first place.
