Note that the later / larger dust shield would have to be notched to allow the small 258mm caliper to fit. The 278x9 rears from the M104 cars (or '87 wagon) would be a nice upgrade without upsetting the bias much.

Yeah ... I just left the old ones on. I didn't even know about an upgrade.  I had my mechanic press the bearings in and out and it didn't occur to me the shields should be changed. I just replaced the calipers and hoses this summer, plain old stock.
