Girodisc Titanium Pad Shields for StopTech ST40 Caliper - TS-0609-4, 4 Pieces
$95.00

If you've ever been on the track and felt that gut-wrenching moment when your brake pedal goes straight to the floor, you know how crucial it is to keep your brake fluid from boiling. It’s all about that pesky heat transferring from the rotors and pads into the fluid via the caliper pistons. Once that brake fluid starts to boil, it releases air bubbles, and suddenly, your braking power is gone. Production cars are especially prone to this on track days since they often lack the advanced cooling systems and high-end materials found in true racing machines.

Now, racing calipers usually come equipped with titanium pistons, and there's a solid reason for that. Titanium has low thermal conductivity, which means it doesn't transfer heat very well. That’s exactly what you want when you’re trying to keep your brake fluid cool under pressure.

Enter the Girodisc solution: a simple yet effective thin titanium shim that sits snugly between your pad backing and the pistons. This little addition acts as a barrier, preventing that braking heat from reaching your fluid. When you compare materials, the difference is pretty striking:

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

As you can see, titanium is a champ at keeping the heat in check compared to steel and aluminum. If you're planning some serious track days, these shims are a budget-friendly way to protect yourself from the nightmare of losing brake pressure when you need it most.

What’s great is that these shims are water jet cut to the exact size you need, so there’s no fussing around with cutting or grinding—just a straightforward install. And remember, the price covers one axle, which means you’ll get four pieces to keep your braking system in top shape.

When you're out there comparing options, take a moment to check the quality of what you're looking at. If you have any questions or need a hand, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here to help!
