I used to run stock callipers on my e9x M3 which was a much less capable system in general and my dust seals didn't look too bad. The flip side is without them I'm worried the AP's will get blocked up with debris from street driving, although its a weekend car so I don't do a lot. Agreed on noise, certainly drew complaints from passengers when I chose to leave track pads in! I really like PFC 11's, not sure if they are available for the stock callipers yet.
