Thank you in advance.
Unless you're driving on a gravel or dirt roads frequently, not having the dust seals for street driving is less or just as bad as not having them on track.

Meanwhile on track with excessive brake dust, sand, dirt, chunks of tire, and occasional fluids, plenty of opportunities to get those pistons dirty. It's only acceptable for track use because those brakes should be getting inspected before each event so a problem is caught sooner than a street driven car that rarely gets inspected.
