Default Brake dust shield a good idea for out TT's?
<center><img src="http://www.innerauto.com/store/images/prodimage/images/kleen_wheels/kleenwheels.jpg"></center><p>Eventhough vented, its obvious that it won't get as much airflow to cool the rotors but for normal driving, is it really that big of a factor? Im also concerened if it affects wheel balance. It would just be nice not to clean the brake dust on my wheels so often.

New brake pads is best idea. PBR Deluxe. Minimal dust.
