ok, if you're going to suggest "remove" - why? easier? cooling?
TIA

Default I removed all mine, and it's my daily driver. No trouble so far.

Default Removed mine. The slots help if the rotors get wet.

Default unless you frequently submerge the wheels while driving on track or in a canyon run...

...you'll be fine.

But you are right to an extent, but that sheild won't save you if you get enough water in there to warp things.
