FMTRVT: Did that boot fail from the heat from the pads? I flushed my entire brake system with Castrol GTLMA synthetic fluid that has a minimum wet boiling pt of 349*F/165*C. Isn't that boot just a dust seal, so it wouldn't case a catastrophic failure if it did burn? (Inquiring minds like myself love to learn)

Since EBC is manufactured in Europe would they still have the friction code stamped on the pad? I was going to pull a wheel off and get that info, but it started raining. Oh and when I was talking about the race pads that I have on the front still have better stopping power over stock even when cold. You just don't get the most out of them unless they have some heat which they were engineered to do anyways.
