Repeated hard stops on the track or a mountain road push pad heat into the pistons, seals and brake fluid, which is what leads to fade and a soft pedal. Each shim is cut from 1.0mm Grade 5 (6Al-4V) titanium, which passes far less heat than a steel shim, so the caliper and fluid run cooler and the brakes stay consistent for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Front only, for factory Brembo 4-piston front calipers. PRL lists the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R; the same pad shape is used by the Brembo front calipers on the Subaru WRX STI (GD, GR\/GV and VA) and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI to IX, so the shims suit those too. Not for the Lancer Evolution X. Sold as a set of four, 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\u003eSits between the pad backing plate and the caliper pistons\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\/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\/dixcel-front-brake-pads-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-fl5-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-v-ix-cp9a-ct9a-brembo\"\u003eDIXCEL Front Brake Pads - Honda Civic Type R (FK8\/FL5) \/ Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V-IX (CP9A\/CT9A) - Brembo\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/paragon-2-piece-front-brake-rotor-pair-honda-civic-type-r-fk8-fl5-350x32mm\"\u003ePARAGON 2-Piece Front Rotors – Honda Civic Type R (FK8\/FL5) – 350 x 32mm\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hel-performance-braided-brake-lines-honda-civic-type-r-fk8\"\u003eHEL Performance Braided Brake Lines - Honda Civic Type R (FK8)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/hel-performance-braided-brake-lines-honda-civic-type-r-fl5\"\u003eHEL Performance Braided Brake Lines - Honda Civic Type R (FL5)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"chicane-links\"\u003eShop more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/prl-motorsports\"\u003ePRL Motorsports\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeed help confirming fitment?
