Track Wisdom

"Very high [brake] temperatures can also cause the brake fluid to boil with a resultant increase in pedal travel. This should be detected immediately by the driver, as a very small quantity of boiling fluid is enough for the pedal to go right to the floor without any effect; in contrast to the liquid brake fluid, the boiling part is compressible. It is particularly important that when the car has been stopped for a short time -- up to 15 or 20 minutes after a drive in which the brakes have become very hot -- the pedal is depressed for a check. When the car is at rest, brakes act as a heat sink from which heat spreads to the fluid contained in the calipers; brakes which were fully operative when the car was driven may have become totally inefficient after it has stood awhile."

-- Paul Frere, Sports Car and Competition Driving

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.
