Aftermarket Z06 Caliper Dust Seals
Wondering what kind of dust seals aftermarket calipers use? I know the OEM seals harden and melt after a few HPDE sessions. Just would like to know what the aftermarket (upgrade) calipers use.
AP/Brembo/Wilwood/Stoptech/PFC ...
Seems to me that running without seals is not a good idea. Abrasive brake dust cant be good for the inner pressure seal.

My Wilwood's do not have outer dust seals. Have been using them for 4 years now without a problem. You just have to clean the pistons with
BrakeKleen or similar product before pushing them back in the bore to change pads.
