Generally, if you are burning off outer dust boots, you are MASSIVELY overheating calipers.
Brembo, AP, Alcon, Advics, Project Mu, PFC, etc. all have the same recommendations.

Although this sound correct, I wonder how does that jive with track-oriented pads for stock calipers? If dust boots need temps lower than 400 F, why bother with non-stock pads? If you run track pads that can handle higher temps, are you ruining the calipers in short order? Or is it that the calipers don't come close to the friction surface temperatures?
