    DBA (Disk Brakes Australia) who makes very nice 2 piece rotors did a heat test on the Frenkit Performance dust boots.

    Ordering!

    Just to short cut everyone...
    Fronts are 36 and 40. Rears are 30 and 28. You will need 8 total kits for 4 calipers.

    Looking just to replace your crunchy, heat damaged Brembo dust boots only? We are now pleased to offer the Frenkit Performance Dust Boots sold in pairs for those not needing a complete rebuild! With over 50 years of brake manufacturing experience, Frenkit Performance uses a proprietary high-performance, high-temp peroxide-vulcanized silicone rubber designed for durability. This silicone has excellent mechanical properties, performing reliably between -60ºC and +200ºC without breaking down and handling temperature spikes up to 300ºC with ease! Each kit contains two (2) dust boots Note: Silicone Dust boots must be assembled dry to prevent damage caused by grease!

    Let me know what sizes you all want! Basically 26 through 46mm will be produced and sold in pairs. And for those who are running without boots (track junkies) I will also be offering just the seals also.

    Pic for the heck of it of Frenkit in Spain just to show their scale.

    I need standard sizes for the 996 calipers, which I believe are 40, 36, 30, 28?

    I plan to rebuild my kit Q1 of 2026 after I get my calipers refinished. I primarily cruise around and drive to and on the track in FL. So occasional Rain, no salt or snow. Can you recommend a kit for me? (all 4 corners)
