Paragon Titanium Brake Pad Shims for Paragon Calipers

Great heat management upgrade to improve braking performance for track and race applications.

Paragon titanium pad shims are made of high quality Grade 5 titanium (6AL-4V / ASTM B348). Fits between the brake pads and calipers, and can act as an effective thermal barrier due to the significantly lower thermal conductivity of titanium.

This is designed to work with Paragon PA015 or PA035 calipers!

Key Features

• Safety: Improved safety by helping prevent brake fade and failure
• Longer component life: Extend the life of brake components and lower long term maintenance cost
• Material: Grade 5 titanium (6AL-4V / ASTM B348)
• Thickness: 0.5mm (0.02")
• Quantity: Set of 4 (axle set)

Common Applications

• Paragon: PA015, PA035 calipers
• AP Racing: CP9660, CP5060, CP5060-2 to -5, CP5555, CP5095, CP9668, CP5260, CP5270 calipers
• Alcon: TA6, CAR11, CAR89 calipers

Part Number: PPS.0819.01.050

Why Titanium Pad Shims?

Lower Operating Temperature

Reduce heat transfer from the brake pads to the calipers and brake hydraulic system to lower the operating temperature. When the rotors and pads are hot, heat transfer via the caliper pistons to the calipers and brake fluid may lead to fluid overheat and brake fade. Fluid fade will lead to soft brake pedal and affect modulation, and is dangerous when there is sudden loss of braking power at the track.

Lower Maintenance Cost

Lower long term maintenance cost by protecting the caliper seals, dust boots, and brake fluid. Excessive heat will deteriorate these components a lot faster and lead to unnecessary replacement cost, plus wasted track time. Boiled fluid needs to be replaced after every track day.
