Girodisc Rear Titanium Pad Shields for Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 | Grand Sport 2014-2020 - TS-1718-4

Girodisc TS-1718-4 Titanium Brake Shims

For performance-driven owners of the Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06 and Grand Sport, the Girodisc TS-1718-4 titanium brake shims are a must-have upgrade, especially if you're hitting the track. The challenge of brake fluid boiling is a common issue when you're pushing your ride to the limit. This phenomenon occurs when heat from your rotors and pads transfers directly into the brake fluid via the caliper pistons. When this happens, the fluid can vaporize, leading to a spongy brake pedal that can ruin your day on the track.

Unlike production cars, which often lack the sophisticated cooling systems found in true racing machines, the TS-1718-4 shims provide a practical solution to this problem. By incorporating a thin titanium shim between the brake pad backing and the pistons, Girodisc effectively minimizes the heat transfer that can lead to brake fluid boiling. This is critical for those intense track days where every second counts.

Why Titanium?

Titanium is renowned for its low thermal conductivity, which means it does a poor job of transferring heat compared to materials like steel or aluminum. Here’s how they stack up:

  • Titanium 6AL-4V: 6.7 W/mk
  • Steel: 52 W/mk
  • Aluminum: 130 W/mk

With titanium, you’re looking at significantly less heat transfer, making these shims an affordable insurance policy against losing your brake pedal when you need it most.

Key Features

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

Fitment

The Girodisc TS-1718-4 is designed specifically for:

  • Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport (2017-2020)
  • Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (2014-2020)

Customer Feedback

Corvette owners rave about the difference these shims make. One Z06 owner noted, “After installing the Girodisc titanium shims, I noticed a significant improvement in pedal feel during my track sessions. No more fading, just consistent stopping power!”

Don't let brake fluid boiling be a concern on your next track day. Upgrade to the Girodisc TS-1718-4 titanium brake shims and keep your performance where it belongs—on the track!
