Improve braking performance and heat management with these Titanium Brake Pad Shims, designed to reduce heat transfer from the brake pads and rotors to the brake calipers during demanding driving conditions.

Installed between the brake pad and caliper, the shims act as an effective thermal barrier thanks to the low thermal conductivity of Grade 5 Titanium (6Al-4V). By reducing heat transfer, they help keep brake fluid temperatures under control, minimizing the risk of brake fade and maintaining consistent braking performance during spirited driving and track use.

In addition to improved thermal protection, the shims can help extend the service life of brake components by reducing heat exposure to caliper seals and surrounding hardware. They also help minimize brake squeal for quieter operation.

These shims are an ideal upgrade for drivers looking to maximize the performance and reliability of their braking system on both the road and the track.

Key Features

  • High-quality Grade 5 Titanium (6Al-4V / ASTM B348) construction
  • Reduces heat transfer from brake pads to calipers
  • Improves braking consistency during high-temperature driving
  • Helps reduce brake fade
  • Protects brake fluid from excessive heat
  • Extends caliper seal and component life
  • Helps reduce brake squeal
  • 0.5mm (0.02") thickness
  • Suitable for street and track use

Benefits

  • Improved thermal management
  • More consistent pedal feel under heavy braking
  • Reduced risk of brake fade
  • Increased durability of braking components
  • Quieter brake operation
  • Ideal for high-performance driving and track days

Gwent VW Delivery Information

Do we ship abroad?
Yes, we do! Gwent VW can ship to most destinations worldwide. Please note that international postage costs can vary, especially for large or bulky items. We typically use trusted couriers such as DHL or UPS for overseas deliveries.

However, there are a few countries we do not currently ship to, including Israel, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia,Nigeria, Macedonia, Syria, Ukraine, and Lebanon.

Why can bulky item shipping be expensive to some countries?
For reliability and safety, we only use reputable courier services so we can track every shipment and ensure it arrives securely. While small items are relatively inexpensive to post, larger items such as body kits or wheels have higher shipping costs due to size and packaging requirements. We aim to keep postage charges as fair as possible, only covering packaging and shipping costs. Please note that import duties, customs fees, and taxes may apply when receiving goods outside the UK. These charges are determined by local authorities and are not covered by Gwent VW.
