The 034 Motorsport titanium brake pad Shim Kit is designed to improve braking performance during intensive use, such as sporty driving or track days. These titanium shims are fitted between the brake pads and the brake caliper and act as a thermal barrier.
Thanks to titanium’s low thermal conductivity, heat transfer from the brake pads and discs to the brake caliper is significantly reduced. This prevents the brake fluid from overheating, which helps to minimise brake fade and maintain consistent braking performance.

Why titanium shims?
titanium has a significantly lower thermal conductivity than steel or aluminium. This means less heat is transferred to the brake caliper and brake fluid, which improves the reliability of the braking system under heavy loads.

Frequently asked questions
What do brake pad shims do?
They act as a thermal barrier between the brake pads and the brake caliper to reduce heat transfer.
Are these shims only for track use?
No, they can also be used on the road, but are particularly useful during intensive braking.
Do they help with brake noise?
Yes, titanium shims can also help to reduce brake squeal.
