Understanding your braking heat is critical for both safety and performance. If your calipers are running too hot, you risk damaging seals and boiling your Brake Fluid. Monitoring these temperatures allows you to verify if your current cooling setup is sufficient or if a change in Brake Pad compound is required.
Our range includes:
• Alcon Thermal Strips: Trusted by professional teams globally for high-accuracy caliper monitoring.
• Dixcel Temp Stickers: Premium Japanese indicators designed for both rotor and caliper heat tracking.
• Paragon Thermal Strips: Reliable and easy-to-read indicators for track day enthusiasts and racers.
Based on the Central Coast, NSW, we supply these essential diagnostic tools to racers Australia-wide. Simply apply to a cleaned surface on the caliper body or rotor hat for instant data acquisition after your next session.
Brake Temp Sticker FAQs
Where is the best place to apply the stickers?
For calipers, apply the strip to the cleanest, flattest part of the caliper body. For rotors, stickers should be applied to the rotor "hat" or bell—never the friction surface—to monitor the heat transfer from the disc to the hub.
Why do I need these for track days?
Temperature stickers tell you if your brakes are operating within their "Goldilocks" zone. If the Alcon or AP Racing calipers you are using exceed 200°C, the fluid can boil. These stickers provide the evidence you need to adjust your driving or your cooling ducting.
Are the stickers reusable?
No. Thermal stickers permanently change colour once a specific temperature threshold is reached. This ensures that even after the brakes have cooled down in the pits, you have an accurate record of the maximum temperature reached on track.
