[QUOTE="Todd TCE, post: 3950771, member: 39508"] ABS doesn't know if you have boots or not, nor if you have more or less piston area. All ABS is looking for it lack of rotation. Granted some of the newer EBD systems do monitor pressures, they'll still be balanced against the rotational aspect as well. A stopped wheel is a stopped wheel regardless of how it became so. Boots ARE grossly over rated. They provide peace of mind to those who are in the salt belt perhaps and those who never bother to look at pad wear. I run in more dust and dirt than you'll ever see on the street and run the same calipers six years running. Common sense and cleaning is is all that's needed between pad changes. The Honda comment is based probably on the Dynalite caliper which has min value on the street. That caliper uses pads that are just to thin in a caliper that's too light for the application IMHO. Thus the taper wear of the pad is greater and if the pad run very low they become a binding part of the caliper and can pull burrs on the caliper body. This is dust: [url]http://p068.ezboard.com/bhillclimbracing[/url] And I have no issue with non booted calipers. [/QUOTE]
