The brake on my Porsche is a Porsche factory Brembo; like our 135I are BMW factory Brembos. The seals would go as a result of temperature. The previous set of brakes I ran on the 911 required a caliper rebuild every other event for seal failure. Nothing wrong with Brembo seals that correctly sized and matched brake components or cooling will accomodate. When you put a 25mm thick rotor on the front of a 3400 pound car where is the heat sink?
