Z1's Titanium Brake Pad Shims are designed to reduce heat transfer from your brake pads into the calipers, helping maintain more consistent braking performance during aggressive driving, track days, and repeated hard braking events. Available for front or rear calipers, or as a full set at a discounted price!
Why do you need them?
When braking hard, brake pad temperatures can rise dramatically. That heat doesn't stay in the rotor and pad—it transfers into the caliper, brake fluid, seals, and other brake components. Excessive heat can contribute to brake fade, reduced pedal feel, accelerated wear of caliper seals, and increased brake fluid temperatures.
Installed between the brake pad backing plate and caliper pistons, Z1 Titanium Brake Pad Shims act as a thermal barrier, helping limit the amount of heat transferred into the caliper assembly. The result is improved heat management and more consistent braking performance when your braking system is pushed to its limits. Manufactured from high-quality grade 5 titanium alloy, these shims provide excellent thermal resistance while remaining lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable enough to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during performance driving.
Compatibility:
Each shim is precision-cut for an exact fit on Nissan 370Z Sport and Akebono brake calipers, ensuring straightforward installation with no modifications required. These shims are also fully compatible with Z1's Forged Street Big Brake Kit, making them an excellent upgrade for both factory-equipped Akebono vehicles and customers running Z1's performance brake package.
