it appears they have a weather seal so it could be used more regularly
There's been way too much BS bounced around about the weather seal and Wilwood brakes. Unless you drive in the snow with salt on the road it's not worth worrying about. NOBODY drives a nice classic Mopar in those conditions, so let the myth die. There are thousands of Wilwood calipers on the road and zero reported problems due to the "weather seal" Internet hype. Why not call Wilwood and ask them about it? As soon as they stop laughing, they will tell you the same thing.

Thats very interesting you say that. The Dynalite caliper is definitely easier on the wallet than the dynapro. Is there any other difference other than the seals...not talking fit, but piston size etc?

Wilwood Calipers are a great value. Lot's of laps and street miles with never a problem using the dynalites. Far superior than the cave man stock stuff.
Pads will last longer than than 10000 miles unless there are laps around the track. There are better compounds than the one that usually comes with the calipers. These work really well.
