    Unfortunately I do not as Frenkit does not make their kits like that. The cost of changing packaging and part numbers make it a tough to be honest. You can check out their complete line by going to their website however! Frenkit.es. I will bring this up to them when I meet with them next.

      Ah no worries. The entire kit is super affordable anyway, so I'll probably just buy it anyway and keep the seals as spares.

        Nice to see you guys get another seal than those grey stoptechs (perhaps it was a forced situation with the centric issues, but still).

          I'd prefer to make this kit work, with giro discs and pads from fcpeuro. That lifetime is hard to beat. I need to see how hard it is to rebuild these dust boots. Jickel claims his gt3 dust boots have been gone a while and his braking is still fine.. tracks at Cota on his gt3 but has the AP kit on his e46 😂

            Yeah I was banging my head for a while and just gave up to be honest. A former employee of Stoptech posted an inside view of what went wrong over there. It was insightful. Frenkit is full of motor heads which is exactly who I like to deal with on this hobby of ours. And they listen. Been working with them for almost 2 years now and it is a breath of fresh air.

              You can swap dust boots with the caliper still on the car. Have done it like four times now...

                Dunno if it’s just me but I feel like that program is going to end kinda soon.

                  Good to know, I will keep the setup I have now, Spoke to Ian offline and convinced me to hold on esp with how much i track. What is the consensus for which boots held up the most?

                  Ill do everything I can to help with cooling, GIRO Titanium plates, GIRO Disc rotors and cooling. AP Kit is nice but out of my scope for my means

                  ​what makes you think that? Are there any signs? They have a page that pushes this and they have ECS to compete with. ECS is doing lifetime warranty now. I still think its like Costco. How many people buy a spatula, 1000? 10000? How many of that actually return it? <1%? I feel its the same with the warranty program, most parts last longer than their ownership.

                    I dunno, I just don't bank on things like that lasting forever.

                      It's been around since 2012. I thought you might have insider information we normal folk don't have but it's just a hunch. It doesn't make any sense as a company to remove it when one of their bigger competitors now offer lifetime and with the pretense of selling all your parts since 2012 with a lifetime guarantee to all of a sudden disappear. That would be messy.

                      II'll def buy their giro disc for the fronts to try and help with the cooling of the brakes, even with ducting it was still very warm on zcpo rotors. If I had the fronts on lifetime I wouldn't care but got them used.

                        Yea no I don’t have insider information 🤨 I also use the FCP lifetime replacement program obviously, I just don’t bank on it being around forever. 12 years is an eternity for a program like that so I’m just being a realist. And when you say it would be messy, what do you expect will happen? There’s no language anywhere in their terms that state how long the program will exist for or that it can’t change again. One day it’s just going to be done out of nowhere and that will be that.

                          keep pads fat - reduces heat to boots
                          use ceramic pucks - reduces heat
                          use titatium etc shim - same

                          full tilt braking = rebuild brakes once a season.

                          I have all sorts of fancy brake systems on my different cars - this is just the answer

                          Silicon boots better than rubber

                              where do they define that term; your lifetime? their lifetime? the lifetime of the program? who knows 😃

                                Your ownership of the car is the understanding.
