Hard driving on a track day or a mountain road pushes a lot of heat from the pads into the pistons, seals and brake fluid, and that is what brings on fade and a long, soft pedal. Each shim is cut from 1.0mm Grade 5 (6Al-4V) titanium, which passes far less heat than the usual steel shim, so the calipers and fluid stay cooler and the brakes stay consistent for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front only, for the factory Brembo 4-piston front calipers on the WRX STI GD, GR, GV and the VA up to July 2017. VA STIs from the July 2017 (MY18) update have 6-piston front calipers and need the 6-piston set. Sold as a set of four, one per pad, enough for both front calipers. Installation by a professional is recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 5 (6Al-4V) titanium, 1.0mm thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch lower heat transfer than steel shims\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut to the shape of the factory Brembo 4-piston front calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps keep heat out of the caliper seals and brake fluid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces the risk of fade under repeated hard braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of four for both front calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/prl-titanium-front-brake-pad-shims-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-fl5\"\u003ePRL Motorsports Titanium Front Brake Pad Shims - Honda Civic Type R (FK8 \/ FL5) \/ Subaru WRX STI (GD \/ GR \/ GV \/ VA) \/ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (CP9A \/ CT9A)\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-titanium-brake-pad-shims-front-ctr-fk2-fk8-evo-5-10-wrx-sti\"\u003ePARAGON Titanium Brake Pad Shims Front – Civic Type R (FK8\/FL5) \/ Evo 5-10 \/ WRX STI\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/grimmspeed-titanium-rear-brake-shims-subaru-wrx-sti-gd-gr-gv-va-pre-my18\"\u003eGrimmSpeed Titanium Rear Brake Shims - Subaru WRX STI (GD \/ GR \/ GV \/ VA) - Pre-MY18\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dixcel-front-brembo-4pot-sti-evo-86-megane\"\u003eDIXCEL Front Brake Pads – Subaru WRX STI \/ BRZ \/ Mitsubishi Evo \/ Toyota 86 \/ Renault Megane RS (Brembo 4-Piston)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-1-piece-rotors-subaru-wrx-sti-gd-gr-gv-va-front-326-x-30mm\"\u003ePARAGON Front 1-Piece Rotors – Subaru WRX STI (GD\/GR\/GV\/VA) – 326 x 30mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-2-piece-front-brake-rotor-pair-subaru-brz-ts-wrx-sti-4pot-gdb-grf-gvf-vab-326x30mm\"\u003ePARAGON 2-Piece Front Rotors (4-Pot Brembo) – Subaru WRX STI (GDB\/GRB\/GVB\/VAB) \/ BRZ (tS) – 326 x 30mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/frenkit-brake-caliper-pins-clips-kit-subaru-wrx-sti-gdb-grb-mitsubishi-evo-cp9a-ct9a-front-brembo\"\u003eFrenkit Brake Caliper Pins \u0026amp; Clips Kit - Subaru WRX\/STI (GDB\/GRB) \/ Mitsubishi Evo (CP9A\/CT9A) - Front Brembo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"chicane-links\"\u003eShop more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grimmspeed\"\u003eGrimmSpeed\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed help confirming fitment?
