Repeated hard braking generates significant heat, and as temperatures rise, that heat can transfer from the brake pads into the calipers and brake fluid. Excessive temperatures can lead to brake fade, reducing stopping power and compromising braking consistency when it matters most.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePRL Motorsports Titanium Front Brake Shims\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are designed to help manage that heat. Specifically designed for the front brake calipers on the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type-R, these shims sit between the brake pads and caliper pistons, creating a thermal barrier that helps limit heat transfer into the braking system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConstructed from high-strength 6AL-4V (Grade 5) titanium, each shim measures 1.0mm thick and offers significantly lower thermal conductivity than traditional steel shims. This helps reduce the amount of heat reaching the calipers and brake fluid, supporting more consistent braking performance during aggressive driving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether you're navigating your favorite backroads or putting your Type-R through its paces, our Titanium Brake Shims provide an effective way to help manage braking temperatures and reduce the risk of brake fade.
