Track Wisdom

"The mark of a great racer is consistency. If you can consistently lap a track at the limit, with the lap times varying no more than 1/2 second, then you have a chance to be a winner. If your lap times vary more than that, no matter how fast some of them are, you won't win often."

-- Ross Bentley, Speed Secrets

Will these shims cause or prevent brake squeal?

These shims are a racing product, their purpose is not to prevent squeal.  Typically anti-squeal shims provide a spring material that actually increases sponginess and reduces brake feel.  Our product is made from a hardened alloy that maintains a rock solid feel for your brake pedal.  That being said, some people report that the shims do actually reduce squeal, probably by increasing the snugness of the fit in the caliper.  We also recommend our high performance brake lubricant/quiet to help preserve and maintain your brake components and to reduce any potential squealing.
