I know I had some brake fade at CMP recently so I know the brakes got quite hot, but I was surprised to find all my rubber boots were a crisp crumbly mess. I just replaced these about 4 track events ago. Is this expected wear?
Oh, and yes, I have the Akebonos.

Mine have disappeared entirely. Brake temps vaporized those years ago.

Although, i must say... the Pistons seem to be working fine without boots, so...?
