AP Racing AP5700 caliper dust boot replacement?

Shotta · 05-28-2014, 08:38 PM

Hello guys,

for those of you who have the AP5700 6 piston calipers from Stillen, have you ever replaced your dust boots and if so where did you get them and were they fairly straight forward to replace.

I see some companies make high temp aftermarket dust boots but I cant even find the stock boot on the net so not sure what part # I would need.

I am going to contact Stillen but I figure I would check here as well because I have a feeling someone has already replaced them from this forum.

So, no response from Stillen but the guys over at AP were very responsive and helpful.

I just powdercoated a set of the brand new RadiCal Ap calipers. They had Brembo dust boots on them, kind of surprised me.

During my research for the seal set I read in a number of places on the internet that AP Racing is a subsidiary Brembo and a lot of their parts are interchangeable such as seals, pistons etc.
