Track Wisdom

"Fluid fade... happens when the temperature of the caliper cylinder (or the piston) reaches the boiling point of the brake fluid and tiny bubbles of compressible gas form in and are diffused through the previously incompressible brake fluid. The pedal then goes to the floor, giving rise to frantic pumping of both the brake pedal and the driver's heart[...] Basically, if the pedal goes all soft and horrible you [...] have boiled the brake fluid. The only cure is to either upgrade the fluid or keep it cooler. This can be achieved either by increasing the cooling to the caliper or by insulating the caliper pistons."

-- Carroll Smith, Engineer to Win

Do titanium brake shims really work? Prove it!

Don't just take our word for it, see our heat shield at work with your own eyes. We created this simple video demonstration to show you how our heat shields can make a dramatic difference in the transfer of heat into a fluid. The heat shield delays the heating of the fluid, and accelerates the cooling down of the fluid. Our heat shields do much more than just reduce peak temperatures, they reduce overall heat load transferred into your brake fluid and caliper components.
