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 VA WRX STI from the July 2017 (MY18) update. Earlier STIs use a different rear pad and need the pre-MY18 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\u003ch3\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/grimmspeed-titanium-front-brake-shims-subaru-wrx-sti-va-6-piston-brembo\"\u003eGrimmSpeed Titanium Front Brake Shims - Subaru WRX STI (VA) - 6-Piston Brembo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/dixcel-rear-subaru-wrx-sti-vab-2-pot\"\u003eDIXCEL Rear Brake Pads – Subaru WRX STI 2018+ 2-Piston (VAB)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-dixcel-brake-bundle-subaru-sti-18-21\"\u003eParagon x Dixcel Brake Bundle Builder - Subaru WRX STI (VAB Facelift) - Customisable Kit\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apr-carbon-brake-cooling-kit-subaru-sti-2018-2021\"\u003eAPR Carbon Brake Cooling Kit – Subaru STI 2018–2021\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?
