Big Brake Kit - Dust Shield Options

[Optima]

Hey folks,

I've got a set of StopTech ST60 brakes coming and I want to get the appropriate dust shield. I know the RS3 dust shield fits but they're hard to come by (and expensive) - are there any other VAG or Aftermarket options that would fit that aren't $200 for the pair?

Thanks!

Just remove them? I don't see a need to keep dust shields on

Ditto. Haven't been installed for a couple of years. Don't see any degradation.

That said, some people will modify the PP shield to shield the ABS sensor and ball joint from heat radiated by the rotor in a track environment. I have not done that, and haven't had any issues.
