1 mm titanium heat shields that sit between the brake pad backing plate and the caliper pistons — part number TS-1001-4, pad shape 1001.
Fitment
- BMW E46 M3, Z4M: Megane RS front calipers
How they work
- Titanium conducts heat poorly — roughly 6.7 W/m·K for Ti-6Al-4V, versus about 52 for steel and 130 for aluminum — so far less braking heat reaches the pistons, seals, boots and brake fluid.
- Short term: helps prevent boiled fluid and a long, soft pedal when the brakes are at their thermal limit.
- Long term: extends piston seal and dust boot life, so caliper rebuilds are needed less often.
- Water-jet cut to the exact pad shape — drop-in, with no cutting or grinding.
Priced per axle (4 pieces).
