They lasted two track days - they are there to keep dust / moisture out of the piston bore ... I would keep an eye on them, and replace every so often. I do not know of ANY rubber piston seal that can survive track abuse ....

YUP - They sweak / squeel occationally when cold,and you are stopping with only a little pad pressure ... I have found that a couple of hard stops, cleans them up and gets rid of the noise. Using anti seize on the backing plates ears, and some anti-squeal paste on the backing plates minimises this

You will have NO issues in Florida ... Winter in Florida is a balmy fall day up here

They will perform WAY better than OE on the street ... they a a great pad.
