I'd like to know if doing track events with a 100% stock setup has led to any problems like this.
Thanks.
For the record, my dust boots began failing on a completely stock setup. I ran two events like this before switching to DTC-70s up front.

Has anyone found a good solution? Not going OEM unless BMW does it for free under warranty/free maintenance because it's just going to happen again. I'm a little worried about reports on here that the RB dust boots fail after exposure to the cold (this is kind of funny when you think about it). The Brembos perform so well outside of this brutal design flaw that spending huge cash on a BBK just isn't an appealing option for me.
