Default Dust Shields?
Anyone using dust shields on their wheels? I'm about to lose it over the amount of brake dust and I'm considering taking action, (dust shields). Just wondered if anyone had any thoughts/experience. Thanks.

Default Bad idea... adding that to the list...
change your pads... (Mintex Red Box...) don't block the air to the brakes!

Audi should be flogged for putting these dusty *** bargain bin pads on premium cars!

Default I used them on my old Audi Coupe and they worked well. I wouldn't autocross or do ...
a lot of mountain driving where your brakes heat up.
