Heat is required in
a brake pad to work properly in performance applications. But
when this heat bleeds from the pads and rotors into the rest of
your braking system, performance goes down. This is often
indicated by a soft pedal as the fluid boils. Even before the
fluid gets hot enough to fully reach the boiling point, performance
is decreased due to increased compressibility. And, in a
street caliper, this heat will melt the caliper dust boots,
requiring more frequent rebuilds.
The solution -
BimmerWorld Titanium Thermal Barrier Plates. Titanium has
only 40% or less of the thermal conductivity of the steel material
used for brake backing plates. Placing these thin 6AL-4V
titanium plates between the brake pad and caliper piston will
reduce heat transfer approximately 70 degrees, giving your braking
system more heat capacity and longer rebuild intervals. A
must for track use - especially in heavier full-interior street
cars and stock and prepared class racers.
Sold in axle
sets. Suggested for use in both front and rear
axles.
