I would assume StopTech would know by now that they need heat resistant dust boot.
I have tracked my porsche heavily and the dust boot survived. I say survived, not look like new 
I think AP racing is better for the track but resale value of the stoptech is guaranteed to be easier.
I will certainly end up with the Essex because I only track the car but I like the reputable stop tech brand. many of my friend track stop tech on the track and are very happy with them. |
I'm fan of Stoptech and their products. We put the ST-60 kit on a friend's 500whp 135i, and in a day at Laguna he melted the dust seals. That being said, Laguna is know to be a very hard track on brakes. The next time out at thunderhill, he had no issues. It's going to be very car/driver/track/pad dependent as well. I've got another guy with an e46 m3 on a Stoptech kit as well with no dust seal issues, and a couple days at Laguna Seca.
I think the AP sprint/endurance kit is a better choice for the track still, but for a dual duty car, I think the Stoptech kit is a great option that comes in at a nice price point.
