Girodisc Titanium Brake Shims
Let’s get real about brake fluid. If you’ve ever been on the track and felt that dreaded soft brake pedal, you know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s all about heat—specifically, how heat from your rotors and pads can transfer straight into the brake fluid through the caliper pistons. When that fluid boils, it turns into a nightmare: air bubbles form, and suddenly your pedal feels like it’s going to the floor instead of giving you the stopping power you need. This is a common issue for production cars on track days since they often lack the advanced cooling systems and high-end brake materials found in true racing machines.
Now, here’s where the Girodisc Titanium Brake Shims come into play. These aren’t just any shims; they’re made from titanium—specifically the 6AL-4V grade, which has a thermal conductivity rating of just 6.7 W/mk. For comparison, steel is around 52 W/mk and aluminum is a whopping 130 W/mk. What does this mean for you? Simply put, titanium is terrible at transferring heat, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to keep your brake fluid cool under pressure.
By placing a thin titanium shim between the brake pad back and the caliper pistons, you’re effectively insulating the fluid from all that heat generated during hard braking. This little upgrade can save you from losing your pedal at the worst possible moment, especially on those long track days when you’re really pushing your car to the limits. Plus, they’re water jet cut to the exact size, so you can skip the hassle of cutting, grinding, or any swearing that usually comes with DIY upgrades.
Fitment:
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 6-9
- Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X
- Subaru Impreza WRX STi (Requires trimmed rear pads) 2004-2007
- Subaru Impreza WRX STI (Requires trimmed rear pads) 2008-2017
- Subaru WRX w/ Brembo calipers Performance Pack, Series White 2020
Notes:
- Price is per axle (four pieces)
If you're serious about your track days and want to keep your braking system in top shape, these titanium shims are a smart investment. They’re cheap insurance against that heart-stopping moment when your brakes just don’t respond. Trust me, you don’t want to find out the hard way!
