Braking problem - malfunctioning ABS

TiSpeed Titanium Brake Backing Plate Heat Shield Shims Improve Your Braking Performance

What backing plates are people using? If any? I'd be curious to see if these made any difference. Supposedly it keeps the heat transfer between the pad and rotor (thus fluid) at a minimum.

I think you mean pad and caliper. Their testing methods were pretty lame, I would be interested to see some real world data.

I have some friends that are trying this part out on the stock C6 Z06 brakes. A few of them have been cooking calipers as well.

Edit: found this gem on their testimonial - look familiar?

How did it go? ... VERY WELL! We can now complete one full session which we have never done before due to the brakes overheating and the pedal going to the floor. As a precautionary measure we bleed the brakes between rounds. We used to see BLACK fluid bleed out of the front calipers after a few laps. Now we are seeing normal looking fluid! These brake shims from TiSpeed are absolutely doing their part in keeping our brake fluid temperatures in check!
