E30-323ti Regular Registered: June 2002	Re: Willwood calipers? Fri, 23 April 2004 22:57 I spoke to Les Hunter here in NZ about using Wilwood calipers. They are legal for street use here in NZ, but yes, they do not have any dust boots. He said "... as long as the pistons are cleaned of any build-up before they are pushed back into the seal when doing pad changes they will be problem free..." also mentioned "... the pistons are very durable and I haven't seen any pitting/corrosion from being exposed, the seals are supposed to be replaced when the pads are changed and the rebuild kits are ~$15 per (4pot) caliper and the pistons are quite cheap also if you manage to damage one..." The reason I considered the wilwoods is due to their slim design, 43mm for the outboard side of a Dynalite, compare that to a RX-7 or Skyline caliper +55mm, makes a big difference if you are trying to fit big brakes under small wheels.
