Rubber ring around brake piston - I fried it, now what?
I did a 3-day track weekend out at Thunderbolt at NJMP this past weekend. Apparently I got the brakes pretty hot. When I came in there was some plastic smelling smoke coming out of the right front brake area. I swaped out my Hawk HP+ pads with OEM yesterday and I noticed that the black rubber surround of the brake piston is toast. Can I leave it that way? Brakes seem to feel fine this morning. Is it just to keep dirt and whatnot out of the piston? Any long term impact?
