Honestly the dust boot arguement, if you track your car anyways, really doesn't have much merit considering. Hell I *remove* the dust boots from my other street cars with OEM calipers because when I do track them it lets me avoid the mess.

I'm guessing I'll be putting 20k a year or more on this car with 6-9 track days per year, so I'll determine how long they last eventually

Joe brought up a good point with the Project Mu stuff. I have very little knowledge of their kits, who makes their calipers, etc but if they are in aust you are less likely to be anally abused on pricing if nothing else.
Not wrong about rectal bleedage when it comes Aussie pricing. We cop it more fierce than an inmate in skirt

I pick up the car at the end of January and will likely take her to a track day on the stock setup to gauge what I need as far as an upgrade.

Thinking about it, the dust boots on my 300zx melted ages ago and the brakes have been no different so I guess there is little drama with the Sprint kit on a DD car.

Keep the forum peeps up to date with how the brakes go for you
