I am thinking about doing the same for mine and do my wheels + tires at the same time. I heard you have to modify the dust shield for them to fit properly, is that something you have to do?

I'm looking to upgrade my standard brakes to these also. Is there a general price that I should be looking for? I have the cv3's and the brakes will bring out the wheel better...
