noob question... so if I want to replace the dust boot, is it as simple as remove the old boot and put on new ones?

I'm probably going to go with the Girodisc dust boot kit:
Girodisc Dust Boot Evasive motorsports

Just ordered a set of new pads too. I Currently have Project Mu Clubracer pads on my car. Tried ordering another set, but it's on backorder.

Going to try Paragon R5 front / Paragon P3 rear

One cool thing I noticed about paragon pads. Helped my brother in law do a set of p3’s front and rear. Their backplates are super thin and basically adapt to shims with zero drama and zero pad instability issues. I’m sure you’ll like the combo.

It's pretty straightforward when I did it. It's easier to change them when the pistons are sticking out. Use a pick to pry out the old dust boots, then slip on the new dust boots. I removed the rotor and bolted the caliper back on so that I can work on removing the old boots and installing the new ones. Removing the caliper completely is not necessary.
