TI plates ordered for my caliper size!


Yes i had another thread on this b4. My memory sux. sorry all

[Deakins]

I'm surprised that Ti is the material of choice for the plates...theres a lot better material out ther for the job. Any reason why that anyone knows or does the market just not offer them?

What other material can withstand high temps?

Titanium is pretty low on thermal conductivity compared to other metels.



Girodisc shims for our car is Titanium 6AL-4V

I never have brake fluild boiling issues or brake fadding. I run 1le with dtc 70 and 60.
From what ive been told is st43 are an auto x pad not roadracing. Like i said ive never had issue and like to think i drive well. Posted vids here so..

ST43s is an intermediate track pad, not an autox pad

DTC70/60 is a good pad.

How much better they are is not known. A few people here run them and I will be running them as well.

I was going to run an A-B-A test during a track day this summer, but the track day rained out 3/4 of the day, so I didn't even attempt to gather any data. Something to add to the list next season for fun.

From running them, I can say that the SS track deflectors hang down low enough that [on the 1LE] I can see it not passing requirements from an OEM. The rotor shields, you would think would be on there, as the ZL1 has the same ones as the SS track shields.

Can you send me the part numbers for the TI shims? Please!

The downside of having the SS track ducts on all the time may be ground clearance and cooling too much on a really cold track day. I haven't ran into any ground clearance issues yet, but it's not my DD. They are very easy to change so I plan on having them on for hot track days and off for cold ones like the one I just did that was 40 degrees. Downside of the splash shields may be if you drive in the rain a lot the rotors may get too wet, but the ZL1 has the same ones and I haven't heard of any issues.

I could see people murdering those no gators at certain tracks, they hang down a bit too low if you ask me.

ZL1 1LE does not use them but the ZL1 does?

[carguy55]

ZL1 has the SS track style splash guards is what I've been told, but I would think a little bigger since the rotors are larger diameter

ZL1, ZL1 1LE and SS 1LE all have the same brake ducts.

ZL1 proof at 2:30 https://youtu.be/siPGbBdXc20


Not sure about the V6/I4 1LEs though.

ZL1 and ZL1 1LE have the SS track rotor shield (pretty sure the same part).

SS 1LE has a shorter rotor shield than the SS.

ZL1, ZL1 1LE and SS 1LE have the same deflectors as the SS.
