"If that were the case I'd expect to see wilwoods specifically not recommended for dirty applications."

I may have learned something then.

I find nothing specific about the wilwoods being DOT or otherwise.

For that matter i can't tell if brembo brakes are DOT either.

...

datsun's are easier to work on than chevrolets!

more research...

old wilwoods say pre 2004 did not have these 'dust seals'

Question: Are they DOT approved?
Answer: No brake system is DOT approved

Question: Don't the calipers need dust seals?
Answer: No, I know of no reason for an additional seal, the O-rings completely seal out dirt,
water, dust etc., air can not get past the o-rings.

so...
these certainly aren't definitive, but more to think about.

Seems to come back to this, don't do this to your mother's car, only do it to a vehicle that is maintained by someone that can determine if there are problems that would not occur on an oem setup.
