Default Brake piston seals (cracked?)

So, I saw this while changing my pads, rotors, and adding some brake ducts this weekend. Are these cracks a problem? Or am I concerned about nothing? Thanks.

You will crack them a lot. I only replaced mine once, then found out that they crack often, so I stopped replacing them. I have not tracked my S2000 in a few years though. I'm sure some one else will chime in with their opinion.

No fluid leaking = O.K. I rebuild my calipers after about 12-15 track days for piece of mind but mine look like that all the time.

Most tracked S2000s have cracked or missing dust boots, don't worry about it.
