All of our kits come with fully recessed dust boots. We did this for endurance race reliability, not to mention it's convenience for all weather driving as you mention.

The number after the rotor diameter designates thickness. IE 355.32.52 is our 355mm rotor which is 32mm wide, and our 330mm rotor (330.30.52) is 30mm wide. The third number is the 'swept area' of the pad, or pad annulus. We use standard FMSI pad shapes. For the 86, our 4 piston caliper uses a standard FMSI D592 pad shape, and the 6 piston uses the Brembo DR29 pad shape. These pad shapes are readily available from most pad manufacturers, and we also offer our SPP 1.0 and 1.5 street compounds, and SRP 100 race compounds in these shapes. Pad thickness' will vary by manufacturer, but are typically 17mm including the backing plate, though these calipers are designed to take a 21mm max pad thickness.

We engineer our kits to be within 1-2% of the stock bias when used with the OE master cylinder. Typically, OE systems are designed with a heavier front bias to promote understeer for safety. In this case, our kit shifts the bias ~1% toward the rear.

Thanks for the heads-up, I will do so now, and I'll attach it here just in case! Be sure to select 'Actual Size' when printing.
