Dust shields, Do they work?
 
I wanna buy a pair for my front brakes so I don't have to wash them as much. Does anyone here know of them or have a set?

They sell them everywhere online, I just wanna make sure they do what they claim.... :cool:

You talking like those rim sized brake dust shields? I've never owned a pair, seems like it would work. But wouldn't you also be running risk of overheating them since I believe they would be getting a loss in airflow to cool them.

get better brake pads.

ceramics dont hardly leave any dirt.

^ Never knew that...Sh!t im sick and tired of cleaning mine... How makes good powerful pads? Hawk?

i got mine at napa and they are great spent just under 200 on rotors and pads. very minimal dust.

Motorcraft pads are ceramic. they cost me $40 for the front set at the local dealership.

Remember......YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

those dust shields do cause the brakes to overheat a little, but it isn't enough to do any damage, just will wear your pads a little faster.
