Kevin Patten Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 I thought that I'd share with others with what I found. There's a company called Hard Brakes which makes titanium brake pad shims in both solid and vented styles. They also offer them in 2 thicknesses. These shims are used to act as a heat barrier between the back of the brake pad and the pistons of the brake calipers to aid in preventing the overheating of the brake fluid in the brake calipers and to save the dust boots on the brake caliper pistons from melting. Very interesting product for those tracking their Shelbys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OsirisGT500 Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I use them. Don't know for sure if they work as I haven't tried any kind of data gathering on brake temps. I also use 600 fluid though... I figured if they work then awesome. If they don't then they aren't really hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig-It Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I use them - good product. I noticed a considerable reduction in fade. I recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
