Brake Dust Guards

Or whatever they are called. So what, they stop stones and crap from getting between pads and rotors etc?

Do they also hurt cooling. Say you are going to a track where you think braking may be marginal, can you help keep the temps down by removing the shields for the track. Obviously throw them back on for the street

Thoughts?

if you are going to block off airflow to the brake rotors its garanteed that your brake system will heat up... therefore you will get the old spongey pedal

I take them off everytime, every car I have owned has had them removed. Race car or road car they're gooooooone! :wavey:

PS; The front ones unbolt easily, but the rear ones are a bitch. I cut them off with the air saw, makes it pretty hard to put them back.
