I happened to spot titanium brake shims...has anybody ever used them? They're supposed to help prevent the brake fluid from boiling by insulating the pads from the pistons.

 

they work,

girodisc sells them

I had quite some argument with another member on here who claimed to be some materials specialist... but I still firmly believe the proof is in the pudding, or in the use...

I use them and have noticed a dramatic improvement because of them. I strongly suggest them.

 

you guys have a link?

 

Here you go my good man.

Looks like it'll also help expand the longevity of the piston boots themselves? Less heat = less stress on the rubber boot.

 

Yes, I've noticed that as well, more for proof that they do work. I was having to replace the boots every 2-3 track days, and since installing the shims, I have not had to replace them since.

 

The boots really get that messed up your talking about the ones around the pistons. Not like i dont believe you that the titanium shims work, but I have a hard time believing the boots getting destroyed so easily even though i will still probably get a pair

 

...luck on that one.
