The 034Motorsport Titanium Brake Pad Shim Kit is designed to improve braking performance during intensive use, such as sport riding or track days. These titanium shims are placed between the brake pads and the caliper and function as a thermal barrier.

Thanks to the low thermal conductivity of titanium, heat transfer from brake pads and discs to the caliper is significantly reduced. This prevents overheating of brake fluid, which helps to reduce brake fade and maintain consistent braking performance.

Advantages

• Reduces heat transfer to the brake caliper
• Helps prevent brake fade
• Improved brake modulation and control
• Extends the lifespan of brake caliper seals
• Reduces brake noise (anti-squeal effect)

Technical specifications

• Material: Grade 5 Titanium (6AL-4V / ASTM B348)
• Thickness: 0.5 mm (0.02")
• Position: between brake pad and brake caliper
• Use: street / track / motorsport

Compatibility

Audi (Akebono brake calipers)
• Audi S4 B9 / B9.5
• Audi S5 B9 / B9.5
• Audi SQ5 B9 / B9.5
• Audi RS5 B9 / B9.5

Why titanium shims?

Titanium has significantly lower thermal conductivity than steel or aluminum. As a result, less heat is transferred to the brake caliper and brake fluid, which improves the reliability of the braking system under heavy load.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do brake pad shims do?
They act as a thermal barrier between brake pads and brake caliper to reduce heat transfer.

Are these shims for track use only?
No, they can also be used on the street, but are especially useful during intensive braking.

Do they help reduce brake noise?
Yes, titanium shims can also help reduce brake squeaking.
