Put it this way. I put on brand new boots. Fried them in ONE session, even with titanium shims. If you're running track oriented pads, r-comps and especially upgraded power, you will fry your boots.

Feel proud. You are heating up the brakes nicely.
So I should NOT drive over the winter with this boot destroyed...

How hard is it to replace the boot. Can you do it yourself?
