they are not needed

but without know what brakes you have or what sheilds you have I don't have a clue if they will fit :p

at the moment i have the standard 8.4 set up and i,m fitting the metro turbo vented with the 4 pot calipers i also have the shields from the metro.

if you plan to use any I'd say the metro ones as the caliper is wider *I think* so the cutout should be wider

but lot's of people includeing myself don't bother as they are only good for more rattles and as stone traps

leave the shields out

I have had them on for a while and off for a while, and there has been NO difference that i noticed.
