Feedback:
I was cooking the front brakes (smoking pads, scored rotors) until I removed the brake dust shields - after that the brakes were fine. Mine is a daily driven car with 8x2-day competitive time trial track events per year - I would estimate about 500-600 track laps per season, all run at 10/10th's! I ran this combo all spring/summer/fall and they were fine for combined daily and track use. The pads squealed a little bit but honestly nothing too bad. 3 sets of front pads, 2 sets of front rotors, 1.5 sets of rear pads and the rear rotors seem fine. I would likely have needed only 2 sets of front pads had I removed the dust shields earlier!
Scores:
Dusting (1=high-10=low): 7
Cold bite (1=low-10=high): 8
Hot bite (1=low-10=high): 9
Modulation (1=low-10=high): 8
Noise (1=extremely loud-10=quiet): 7
Pad Lifespan (1=short-10=long): (estimate/actual) About 3
Does the brake dust with this combination damage the wheels/paint if not cleaned immediately? No idea, I don't clean my track wheels!
Brake ducts: No
