Upgrading brakes, and darn are the new brakes sweet!

Exactly this! you dont want to limit or degrade heat dissipation of the pads otherwise you will run into brake wobble quicker bc the pad material will adhere to the rotor quicker due to the higher heat caused by the covers.
I'm even hesitant on painted calipers bc the paint hold in a certain about of the heat

In regard to the pad types, you can now get “street” pads on all 4’s with the kits from StopTech.
I’ll have a chance to really break in the pads and rotors (and test out the new calipers) this weekend. Lots of driving and tough roads in God’s north country.

They do not block any air flow and they DO keep brake dust off my wheels which is why they are there to begin with, they work very well for that. I've been doing brakes 35+ years professionally both ASE and Ford master certified, I can assure you they are perfectly fine.
I was being sarcastic when I made that statement up above. I couldn't careless what people think of my truck and what I do to it and that includes you. Have a nice day.

Didn't say a thing about brake dust or that they would damage your brakes in any way.
Apparently you DO care what people think about your truck because you jumped right the **** down people's throats over the caliper covers.

If you want to get all high and mightly about my post- read my post again there chief. Everything I said is 100% correct. You don't need to cover a caliper, and it does degrade heat dissipation- airflow does not affect how heat is radiated from a body.

Anything else you'd like answers about?
