So as the title says do they?

In Deliverance Lost it says Corax had all the Raven Guard ships fitted with reflex shields as well as void shields and that they were the only legion to have reflex shield fitted at all.

So i was wondering if they still use them? If not dose anybody know why not?

Haven't heard any recent mentions of reflex shields. It's quite probable that the AdMech has lost the secrets of their design and maintenance.

The reflex shields were first mentioned in that book. There's been no 40k Raven Guard books since then, so we can't know.

... the heck is a reflex shield? Sounds like something out of Macross.

It's a customized Void Shield that enables stealth-travel. Instead of deflecting energy and matter away from the ship, it traps energy and matter alongside the ship, so that the ship leaves no sign of its engine-burn or garbage-dumps.

Basically, it's using the Mass Effect stealth-drive idea in 40K.
