Girodisc TS-0731-4 Titanium Brake Shims

If you're hitting the track with your Chevrolet Corvette C5 or C6 equipped with the Z51 Brake Package, you know that brake performance is crucial. One common issue that can ruin your day on the track is brake fluid boiling, which happens when heat from your rotors and pads transfers directly into the brake fluid through the caliper pistons. This can lead to a spongy brake pedal and a loss of control when you need it most.

Why Choose Girodisc TS-0731-4?

The Girodisc TS-0731-4 Titanium Brake Shims are engineered to combat this problem effectively. By placing a thin titanium shim between the brake pad backing and the caliper pistons, these shims act as a thermal barrier, preventing heat from the braking system from transferring into the brake fluid. This is especially important for production cars like your Corvette, which typically lack the advanced cooling systems found in dedicated race cars.

Material Matters

Let's break down why titanium is the go-to material for these shims:

  • Thermal Conductivity: Titanium 6AL-4V has a thermal conductivity rating of just 6.7 W/mk, compared to steel at 52 W/mk and aluminum at 130 W/mk. This means titanium is significantly better at keeping the heat away from your brake fluid.

Track-Ready Protection

For those who regularly push their Corvettes hard on the track, the TS-0731-4 shims are a smart investment. They're an affordable way to protect against brake fluid boiling, ensuring that your pedal feel remains firm and responsive, even during extended sessions. Don't let a loss of braking performance turn your track day into a costly mistake.

Features

  • Precision water jet cut to exact size—no cutting, grinding, or frustration involved.
  • Sold per axle (includes four pieces).

Fitment

  • Chevrolet Corvette C5 (1997-2004) with Z51 Brake Package

Customer Feedback

One Corvette C6 owner shared, "Installed these shims before my last track day. The difference was night and day! I could push my brakes harder without worrying about losing pedal feel. Highly recommend for anyone serious about performance."

Upgrade your braking performance with the Girodisc TS-0731-4 Titanium Brake Shims and keep your C5 or C6 Corvette on point, lap after lap.
