    If they strip, then they were already flaking to start with.

    Water + flaking coating = stripped.

    i wouldnt even worry about the rotors.

    pull the belt off and spin the SC by hand feel for play, if it sounds like rocks banging around while idling the coupler is bad.

    I have done a lot of research.. On this forum and others. I have heard stories about it "breaking" SC. But if you search for my thread on seafoam I actually found an interview with a guy from seafoam that says it is ok for inducted cars.
