I don't know anything about Kleen Wheels but...

Wouldn't it cause the brakes to overheat?

the only thing worse than brake dust is the "tire shine" that ALWAYS gets on them to attract the dust even more. gotta keep those tires black though. im going to invent a tire shine/brake dust repellent.

The best repellant is a fresh coat of wax. It makes them much easier to clean also.

Nope.

http://www.porterfield-brakes.com/

Give 'em a call and tell them your application. Should be like $80 or so. Or just search and you'll find a ton of info, including prices..

yes, no more dust at all! Just slight dust for the first day or 2 of break-in, and smooth sailing after that!

Rear pads are up to you, I didn't upgrade them because the stock ones were fine w/no dust.

like D said, all the info was posted before, but here's a shortcut, I bought mine from this guy at this same price:
