Your caliper piston boots looked alright to me, I don't see any serious cracking? @soundman98 What are the indicators that your piston will start to leak, I'm not seeing it and my piston boots look very similar. |

My piston boots are quite brittle in some parts and crumbling =X. But as mentioned, I'm not too sure how that will necessarily lead to leaks other than the heat affecting the inner o-rings. The visible rubber boots serve mainly as dust covers |

Good call DandoX.
These pins need to move in and out to keep the pressure equal on both sides of the caliper, they have grease to lubricate and a boot to keep the grease in and the dirt out. Having a slit and high temp will let the grease out. |
