Hi... I can assure you that the lack of dust boots is a non-issue. None of Wilwood street focused BBK's use dust boots, and I have not heard of any issues. In fact, the Forged Narrow Superlite 6R calipers we use in our Stage I and III kits are powder coated, and are primarily geared for street use with occasional track use. Powder coating (whether on Wilwood's, Brembo's, AP's, etc) does not hold up well to track use as it will literally melt over 350-400 deg. F.


In some ways the lack of dust boots reduces maintenance if you ever track your car... as the rubber dust boots either melt or dry up and crack. Our shop IS-F has Brembo Calipers and we have had to service the dust boots a few times, and its not cheap!
