HEL Carbon Fibre Brake Pad Shims for Toyota GR Corolla 2022-on
The Carbon Fibre Brake Pad Shims for Toyota GR Corolla 2022-on are meticulously developed by HEL Performance, utilizing premium carbon fibre and an exclusive non-combustible resin that can withstand temperatures over 400°C (752°F). This unique resin cures to a striking yellow or orange, varying depending on the batch. These don't just look the part though: initial testing carried out by a professional racing driver in various road and track conditions showed a huge average temperature drop of 49°C (120.2°F) on the front calipers. HEL carbon fibre shims come in at a super-lightweight 3.5 grams per shim, compared to weighty titanium which are a typical 17 grams per shim. That's a dramatic 79% weight saving. That's not the only comparison which makes titanium inferior though: carbon fibre 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 compon
