2. If it is appropriate for street car, is regressing and maintenance every brake pad change frequent enough to prevent binding, or do I need to check it more often.
3. The BimmerWorld and FCP kits have no dust caps and the ECS/Turner kits have dust caps, but are $50 more expensive. Are dust caps necessary or can I save some money?
Thank you for reading

1. I bought the ECS kit in 2016 and have had them on my car since. It is my daily and track the car once or twice a year. I service the pins once a year and have been just fine.
2. I have serviced, for the most part, once a year but there have been some stretches of time that have surpassed 12 months. no real issues yet.
3. get a kit with dust caps. That is probably why BW does not suggest for daily driven cars. Your factory sleeves have dust caps as well. Having the dust caps is another reason why I did not worry too much about installing these on a DD.
