I went with the 4-pot Trophy Sport kit for the front and rear to clear my 18" track wheels. So I don't have the benefit of the larger 380mm front rotors to dissipate heat. I seriously doubt the 355mm rotor up front will be an issue with my limited track experience but I may as well give them the most cooling possible if removing the dust shields doesn't pose a problem.
Thoughts?

If this is going to be a street car with some track events thrown in there I say keep them. If you are going to be under the car everyweekend and pulling brakes off and such then I would ditch them. Malek knows what is he talking about.
