Wilwood Dynapro/dynalite maintenance
<p>Recently ran across these</p><p>And it got me wondering. How should I take care of my dust boot-less dynapros. How often should the be cleaned/rebuilt. How should I clean them when I swap pads and push the pistons back in.</p><p>Or should I just try and get some of the dust boot versions. Anyone have experience with them?</p><p>My car is definitely still a street car.</p><p> </p>

run the bootless and replace them every 3 years. they only cost 200 bucks for a pair. boots like to catch fire on track.
if the calipers where real expensive i would rebuild them. but for the sake of rebuilding a caliper for 60 or buying a new one for 100 bucks i'll spend the extra cash and have a body that isn't fatigued.

<p>Dynapros are more like 300. And if you can spend 340 and get more than a 10% increase in lifetime why not get the dustboot ones.</p><p>And suggestions on maintenance? </p>

dynapro 140 bucks.
if you track your car do no run dust boots. they catch on fire.

<p>http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wil-120-11481</p><p>50 dollars more total. If I get even another year without replacement aren't they worth it?</p><p>What is wrong with the dust-booted ones.</p>

I would think the best maintenance would be to just flush the brake fluid to keep it clean/happy and inspect the pads. So say if you track the crap out of it one weekend, maybe flush the fluid after that for example and check the brake pads.

<p>No. He edited that post. When I saw his response all it said was. Both of them actually. He didn't say they catch on fire until I specifically asked what was wrong with them.</p><p>"run the bootless and replace them every 3 years. they only cost 200 bucks for a pair."</p><p>Which tells me nothing of why not to, other than they are cheap.</p>

Are you actually just asking how to clean them to make them pretty? Or to improve reliability? I assume reliability. If you just want them to not look dusty, I'm sure soap/water is fine and shouldn't hurt anything. I wash the Brembo calipers on my C63 with car soap whenever I wash it, it's never hurt them. I'd be willing to be they have boots though, but i've never checked.

This is probably a dumb question, but can you buy calipers that have boots, and just remove the boots before a track day? Sorry, no experience with the calipers you're running so I dunno if this is possible, but perhaps?
