What are the chances the StopTech boots will last as long on track as the OEM caliper boots last on the street? I realise they look good after 17 track days, but that could be one season for me. It could be they start to crack after 20 track days, at which point I'm still rebuilding them nearly annually. I'd be really interested to see how the ST boots hold up over 50+ track days.
Again, thanks for the help, DS!
Hmm 50 track days is a lot. I don't think @Sleepless is there yet since he had 17 track days on his Stoptechs as of August this year. Seeing his dust boots holding up with JRSC and XP12's is encouraging though.

@AZP Installs uses the same Stoptech ST40 kits in their shop car and Spec86 car. Wonder if they're closing in on 50 track days with them and can report on the condition of the boots.
