When it comes to brake performance, one of the sneakiest culprits is brake fluid boiling. It happens when heat from your rotors and pads seeps into the fluid through the caliper pistons. Once that fluid starts to boil, it releases air bubbles that mess with your pedal feel. Instead of feeling that solid response when you hit the brakes, you might find your pedal sinking to the floor. Not exactly what you want during a track day, right?
Production cars often struggle with this issue, especially on track days. They lack the fancy cooling ducts and high-end materials that true racing setups have. That’s where titanium caliper pistons come in. These bad boys are designed to keep heat transfer to a minimum because titanium has low thermal conductivity. In layman's terms, it doesn’t conduct heat well, which is exactly what you need to keep your brake fluid cool under pressure.
Enter the Girodisc titanium shims. These little gems sit snugly between your pad back and the pistons, acting as a barrier to keep that braking heat from ruining your day. Just check out the thermal conductivity ratings:
- Titanium 6AL-4V: 6.7 W/mk
- Steel: 52 W/mk
- Aluminum: 130 W/mk
It’s pretty clear that titanium is your best friend when it comes to minimizing heat transfer. If you’re planning on hitting the track hard or doing multiple sessions, these shims are a smart investment. They’re a cheap insurance policy against losing your pedal feel at the worst possible moment, which can turn a fun day into an expensive one.
And don’t worry about installation; these shims are water jet cut to the exact size you need. No cutting, grinding, or swearing required’just straightforward installation.
