Brakes are tested under extreme conditions. Titanium brake shims work as heat shields to maintain braking power.

When brakes are under stress, they get hot. Real hot. Just think how hot the brake parts on a racecar get when coming out of a straight stretch to enter a corner. Rubber can quickly turn to goo in that situation, or in any heavy braking scenario. The heat created from the friction of the hard-working brakes can actually boil the hydraulic brake fluid, which even further reduces stopping power. That's where titanium brake shims come in.

Titanium brake shims work like heat shields to prevent the heat of the braking effort from affecting the other brake parts. Manufacturers often use a titanium alloy in the brake shims to keep costs down, as titanium can be very expensive.

While rubber brake shims can be stuck to the back of brake pads using two-sided tape, titanium brake shims are usually secured by other means. They often have holes at the top and thread onto the caliper pins. They still fit between the brake pads and the rotors, but they function less as noise dampeners and more as heat shields.

­Keeping the brake parts as cool as possible means a longer life for brake parts and fewer brake fluid changes. Brake shims are great for cars, and motorcycles.

 
Our titanium brake heat shields are a quick, inexpensive and guaranteed method for managing your brake heat.  They fit between your brake pad and brake caliper pistons to form a thermal barrier that protects your caliper and fluid from excess heat.


The Proven benefits of our brake heat shields for you are:
  • Longer life for your brake pads.  Top drivers know that as brake pads wear down they start to lose their  "feel" because they transmit more heat to the brake fluids and because the caliper piston needs to travel further.  Why throw away half-used pads when you can extend their life with our titanium heat shields to make up for the lost brake pad materials?  For less than the cost of a single set of brake pads you can extend the life of all of your pads now and in the future.
  • More consistent braking for a longer period on the track. Our brake shims help to prevent the loss of braking power that occurs when brake fluid starts to overheat or even boil, a phenomenon known as "brake fade".  Hundreds of drivers have verified for us that our heat shields allow them to stay out on the track and push their car to the limits longer and harder than without them.  
  • Lower maintenance costs.  Our heat shields have been proven to extend the life of your brake caliper components, including dust boots, caliper seals, piston surfaces and of course brake fluid.  Why spend time and money repairing, rebuilding or replacing these when our simple product can reduce the maintenance intervals?

These titanium brake shields have a small fraction of the thermal conductivity of  steel or aluminum materials used for brake pads and calipers, and provide a critical thermal barrier between your glowing hot rotors and your precious hydraulic brake fluids. They give your track car the same proven brake heat mitigation materials used by major performance brake manufacturers like Brembo and top teams in Formula One and NASCAR, for a small fraction of the cost.  We use only top-grade titanium alloy for maximum thermal protection, structural integrity and corrosion resistance

The auction is for a front axle set of 4 shims.  rears are available for £60
