They've used the finest carbon Fiber, combined with an exclusive resin which is non-combustible and thermally resistant to temperatures over 400°C (752°F). This special resin cures an attractive yellow or orange depending on the batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese don't just look the part though: initial testing carried out by a professional racing driver in various road and track conditions showed a \u003cstrong\u003ehuge average temperature drop of 49°C (120.2°F)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the front calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEL carbon Fiber shims come in at a super-lightweight 3.5 grams per shim, compared to weighty titanium which are a typical 17 grams per shim. \u003cstrong\u003eThat's a dramatic 79% weight saving\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's not the only comparison which makes titanium inferior though: carbon Fiber also has a much lower heat conduction compared to titanium (1W\/mK compared to 22W\/mK for titanium and 65W\/mK for steel). Anything that helps reduce the temperature and increase efficiency of brake components is a good thing, especially as caliper seals are at risk of being damaged when they get too hot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling these carbon Fiber brake pad shims will certainly inspire confidence that when you brake aggressively, all the components are being kept cool and working at their best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also re-use the shims when changing pads, as long as they're in a good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n \u003ccaption\u003eCaliper Temperatures\u003c\/caption\u003e\n \u003cthead\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eStandard\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eHEL Carbon Fiber Shims\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eDifference\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003c\/thead\u003e\n \u003ctbody\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003eFront Right\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e217.8°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e165.6°C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd style=\"color:#468c1e\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e↓  52.2°C (24%)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003eFront Left\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e224.8°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e178.9°C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd style=\"color:#468c1e\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e↓  45.9°C (20.4%)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003eRear Right\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e138.9°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e116.6°C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd style=\"color:#468c1e\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e↓  22.3°C (16.1%)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003eRear Left\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e131.1°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003e113.3°C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003ctd style=\"color:#468c1e\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e↓  17.8°C (13.6%)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n \u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"HEL Performance USA B2B","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52571400765756,"sku":"HEL-HCFS-4-023","price":207.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/5646\/6748\/files\/hcfs-2-fronts_1_8505a6c9-0db4-4c22-ba5e-49a9e609db2c.jpg?v=1766299403","url":"https:\/\/fortunehunterzmotorsports.com\/de\/products\/hel-performance-carbon-fiber-brake-pad-shims-for-chevrolet-corvette-gt3","provider":"Fortune Hunterz Motorsports ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
