I would make sure the guide pins can freely move, then make sure they are greased properly (with the right silicon based grease), clean the boots and make sure no damage is there. Also take out the guide pins and inspect those for any signs of wear or damage.




They don't look too bad to me. Are you talking about the piston boots or the guide pin boot?
I pulled both top and bottom pins, cleaned them, and put new OE rubber grease. Pins themselves looked okay. The lower rubber guide bushing was fraying, so I replaced it.

I think they are talking about the caliper piston boots.

Ordered some GT3 brake ducts to help with the cooling
