Hey to all you guys and girls on lancershop! If you have ever wondered about how this website is and how it will treat you as a customer .... Well they are pretty good compared to a buach of other sites out there! Selection of parts is fantastic just need to keep your parts updated on which ones are still continued and which ones are not I don't like looking at things I can't get haha . I have ordered parts from them before and I did not have a problem. They got to my house before the eta which was impressive to me because the parts were coming from different warehouses across the country and from previous experiences with other sites that can be a pain in the butt! Now..... Only one little thing that isn't even a really big deal especially since I had somsomeo assist me right away and didn't leave me clueless..! I ordered rotors and they haven't got here when they were supposed to. But it was around the holidays so I should be prepared for any kind of delay. But hey I had a wonderful girl I.m. me and everything was straightforward and no bull crap and we got everything figured out. :) lancershop is a site I will be using in the future for sure!

Girodisc Front Titanium Pad Shields- Evo 8/9/X

Product Description

The problem of brake fluid boiling is simply traced to heat transferring from the rotors and pads directly into the fluid through the caliper pistons. When brake fluid boils, it releases air that is normally part of the molecular structure of the fluid. This air is compressible of course, and the brake pedal goes to the floor instead of moving the caliper pistons. Production cars tend to suffer from this on track days more as they don't usually have the extensive cooling duct and exotic brake materials as true racing cars. True racing only brake calipers generally come with titanium caliper pistons for one reason. Titanium as a material, has low thermal conductivity. This means that it is very bad at transferring heat. Which is good if you are trying to keep your fluid cool.

The Girodisc solution to help prevent fluid boiling is to use a thin titanium shim placed between the pad back and the pistons, to keep the braking heat from transferring into the pistons and fluid. Here is a comparison of materials and their relative thermal conductivity ratings:

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

You can see that Titanium will transfer far less heat than steel and especially aluminum. For cars that are going to see hard or multiple track days, these shims are cheap protection from loosing the pedal due to boiling at the wrong time and making the day very expensive.

Water jet cut to exact size, no cutting, grinding, or swearing involved.
