Brake dust shields

Hi guys,
Having just changed my front brakes over to stag ones I've noticed the dust shields are scrap. How crucial are they really. I know a lot of people have removed from various cars over the years so just wondering if removal would also aid heat release etc.
Cheers

I ditched mine years ago. They serve no purpose apart from occasionaly trapping gravel behind them. Ditch them and save the weight.

Alternatively, buy a set of s/s Stag one's!
