Brake Pad Paint Peel

You would crack and peel if heated to 700 Deg C

Shims would help

The paint will crack and peel on any brake pad if hot enough like BGTV8 has said. Shims will help keeping some of the heat out of the calipers. I use these.

Thanks for the feedback, BGTV8 and Rusty. Being new to road courses, it's good to know things are behaving as expected.

Rusty, I was lookig at those Ti shims just before posting. They are tempting as the OEM shims are already $60 a set. Which thickness did you go with?

I went with the thin shims. If you use the thick shims. You're limited to running a thinner pad.
