Girodisc Rear Titanium Pad Shields for Porsche 996 Carrera | Carrera 4 - TS-0738-4 - TS-0738-4

Girodisc TS-0738-4 Rear Titanium Pad Shields for Porsche 996 Carrera | Carrera 4

The Girodisc TS-0738-4 Rear Titanium Pad Shields are engineered to combat the common issue of brake fluid boiling during high-performance driving. This phenomenon typically occurs when excessive heat from the brake rotors and pads transfers directly into the brake fluid through the caliper pistons, leading to a loss of pedal feel and potential brake failure.

Standard production vehicles often lack the advanced cooling systems and high-grade materials found in dedicated racing setups, making them more susceptible to brake fade under demanding conditions. The TS-0738-4 addresses this by utilizing a titanium shim that is strategically placed between the brake pad backing and the caliper pistons. This innovative design significantly reduces heat transfer, ensuring that the brake fluid remains at a stable temperature.

Material and Thermal Conductivity

The choice of titanium is critical for performance applications. The thermal conductivity of titanium (6AL-4V) is rated at just 6.7 W/mk, which is substantially lower than that of steel (52 W/mk) and aluminum (130 W/mk). This characteristic makes titanium an ideal material for minimizing heat transfer and maintaining brake performance during intense driving sessions.

Key Features

  • Precision water jet cut for exact fitment—eliminates the need for cutting or grinding during installation.
  • Sold per axle, including four pieces to cover both rear calipers.

Fitment

  • Porsche 996 Carrera | Carrera 4

For those who frequently participate in track days or spirited driving, the Girodisc TS-0738-4 Rear Titanium Pad Shields provide an affordable and effective solution to prevent brake fluid boiling. By investing in these shields, you can enhance your braking performance and maintain control when it matters most.
