Brake Dust shields

well, I am torn - from what I have heard, you cannot have good brake pads that dont kill you with dust! (I mean good as in stop well). So, the alternative I have found is brake dust shields. What does everyone think of em? It makes me kinda leary to cover up my brakes...but....
btw, I saw a post somewhere that listed these - http://www.calcarcover.com/product.a...Search+Results

I have a set from my 16" Iroc wheels if you want them. I changed wheels so they don't really "fit" anymore. They kept the dust off really well. As some will tell you, these aren't recommended if you do a LOT of heavy braking. Regular driving is fine. I have on problems and I have (had) them on 2 cars.

Lemme know ...

Well, I got the RS wheels (15x7 or something), so I doubt your shields for 16" wheels will work. Thanks anyways though!

Don't mean to butt in, but what do you want for those dust shields. I've used them before and like them. I have been keeping my eyes open for a set here and there ( it hasn't been at the top of my list).

I had my brother make me some out of sheet metal and I painted them black. Work great. Can't even tell they're there.
