TS-1740-4 Caliper Backing Plate Kit

The Girodisc TS-1740-4 Titanium Backing Plate Kit is engineered to enhance braking performance, particularly during demanding driving conditions like track days. By utilizing titanium, a material known for its exceptionally low thermal conductivity, these plates act as a barrier between the brake pad backing and the caliper pistons. This design effectively combats the issue of brake fluid boiling, which can lead to a loss of pedal feel and braking effectiveness. Each kit contains four water-jet cut titanium plates, ensuring precise fitment without the need for cutting or grinding. The package is a complete set intended for two calipers, making it a straightforward addition for those looking to upgrade their braking system. Girodisc advises that this shim kit is not recommended for use with models equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB).
