Yeah, I didn't lose the rubber. It was new rubber boots and I only drive a couple miles like that till I realized the calipers were sticking. I've since found out what you said about the silicon grease (caliper glide lube - comes in lil packets at Autozone or Advance Auto -Permatex-) and applied it appropriately. Its a good note to add though that after the caliper is reassembled that you should put a coat of the grease on the OUTSIDE of the rubber boots as well due to the protective qualities of it.
