Melting dust boots with ANY car or caliper is a concern. The question is, how hot are you getting your brakes? If you're not getting them hot enough, then you'll never melt or burn off your dust boots.

On the other extreme, I've ran my OEM S2000 calipers without the outer dust boots for nearly 5 years, without issue. If I replace the dust boots, I literally burn them off in one track day. Not melt, or crack, but burn them off and all that is left is ash.
