Protect your braking system from extreme thermal loads with our selection of high-grade titanium brake shims. At Chicane Australia, we supply precision-engineered shims from Paragon and ELIG, designed to act as a thermal barrier between your brake pads and caliper pistons.

During heavy track use, the heat generated at the pad surface is transferred directly into the caliper pistons and then into your Brake Fluid. This can lead to fluid boil and damaged caliper seals. Titanium has a very low thermal conductivity, making it the ideal material to "shield" your calipers from this heat soak.
We stock shims from Paragon and ELIG for a wide range of performance applications. These are compatible with factory Brembo systems as well as high-performance aftermarket calipers from Alcon and AP Racing. These shims are incredibly thin, ensuring they do not interfere with pad fitment while providing a significant reduction in operating temperatures.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we help track enthusiasts improve the longevity of their braking components. We offer fast shipping Australia-wide to ensure your car is track-ready for your next event.
Titanium Shim FAQs
Which calipers do these shims fit?
Our titanium shims are available in various profiles to fit popular performance calipers. This includes OEM Brembo setups (found on Mitsubishi Evo, Subaru STI, and BMW M-series) as well as dedicated motorsport calipers from Alcon and AP Racing.
How do titanium shims actually work?
Titanium is a poor conductor of heat. By placing a thin titanium sheet between the Brake Pad and the caliper pistons, you create a thermal break that slows down the transfer of heat into the caliper and brake fluid.
Are Paragon or ELIG shims better?
Both brands offer high-quality, laser-cut titanium shims. We stock both to ensure the widest possible coverage for different caliper shapes, including popular Brembo, AP Racing, and Alcon applications.
