Girodisc TS-0810-4 Titanium Brake Shims

If you’re pushing your car to the limit on the track, you know that brake fluid boiling is a real concern. This issue arises when heat from the rotors and pads transfers directly into the brake fluid through the caliper pistons, leading to a dangerous situation where the brake pedal can sink to the floor. Production cars often struggle in this area since they lack the advanced cooling systems and materials found in dedicated racing setups.

Enter the Girodisc TS-0810-4 Titanium Brake Shims. These innovative shims are designed to combat brake fluid boiling by utilizing a thin layer of titanium placed between the brake pad backing and the caliper pistons. Titanium is known for its low thermal conductivity, meaning it does a poor job of transferring heat compared to materials like steel and aluminum. Here’s a quick comparison:

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

This significant difference means that with the Girodisc shims, your brake fluid stays cooler, allowing you to maintain pedal feel and braking performance even during the most demanding track days. For those who frequently hit the circuit, these shims are an affordable insurance policy against losing braking performance when it matters most.
