Disc brake shields ?

Are they necessary? I'm doing a rear disc conversion that won't have them so wondering if it's a must or an option to have them on front or back ??

They are only nessacary under certain circumstances.

They help keep rain off the disk along with other things. Although I have cars that never had them.

For 4x4's some prefer them to keep mud off the disk, and some so the caliper can she'd the mud.

In general it is a better bet to have them on.

They also help keep brake dust off the other suspension parts which is why I wanted to have them

No shields. Rocks get stuck in between them in the mud and chew up the rotors.
