When you're pushing your Civic Type-R through corners and braking hard, your braking system has a lot of work to do. Repeated hard braking generates significant heat, and as temperatures rise that heat can transfer from the brake pads into the calipers and brake fluid. Excessive temperatures can lead to brake fade, reducing stopping power and braking consistency when it matters most.
PRL Motorsports Titanium Front Brake Shims are designed to help manage that heat. Specifically designed for the front brake calipers on the FK8 and FL5 Civic Type-R, these shims sit between the brake pads and caliper pistons, creating a thermal barrier that helps limit heat transfer into the braking system.
Constructed from high-strength 6AL-4V (Grade 5) titanium, each shim is 1.0mm thick and offers significantly lower thermal conductivity than traditional steel shims — a simple addition that helps your Type-R maintain the braking performance you depend on.
