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 Rear only, for the factory Brembo 2-piston rear calipers on the WRX STI GD, GR, GV and the VA up to July 2017. The VA STI from the July 2017 (MY18) update uses a different rear pad and needs the MY18-MY21 set. Sold as a set of four, one per pad, enough for both rear 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 2-piston rear 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 rear calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available: \u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-titanium-rear-brake-pad-shims-pa026-sti\"\u003ePARAGON Titanium Rear Brake Pad Shims – Subaru WRX STI (GDB\/GRB\/VAB) \/ PA026 Caliper\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/grimmspeed-titanium-front-brake-shims-subaru-wrx-sti-gd-gr-gv-va-4-piston-brembo\"\u003eGrimmSpeed Titanium Front Brake Shims - Subaru WRX STI (GD \/ GR \/ GV \/ VA) - 4-Piston Brembo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dixcel-rear-brembo-2pot-sti-evo-brz-86\"\u003eDIXCEL Rear Brake Pads – Subaru WRX STI \/ BRZ \/ Mitsubishi Evo \/ Toyota 86 \/ Nissan GT-R (Brembo 2-Piston)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-1-piece-rotors-subaru-wrx-sti-gr-gv-va-rear-316-x-20mm\"\u003ePARAGON Rear 1-Piece Rotors – Subaru WRX STI (GR\/GV\/VA) – 316 x 20mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-1-piece-rotors-subaru-wrx-sti-gd-rear-316-x-20mm\"\u003ePARAGON Rear 1-Piece Rotors – Subaru WRX STI (GD) – 316 x 20mm\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?
