You mean the shims between the pads and the pistons? If so, yes. The shims are heat insulators. Put a little bit of grease on the back of the pads to help keep the noise down.

Well ****. I guess I need to put those back on now since I thought they were just noise shims. Someone needs to come up with some titanium backing plates like they have for Evo's.

I don't believe you NEED them, they do keep noise down and help insulate, but unless they start squeaking, I think you'll be fine

Well i've had them squeaking constantly before, both cold and relatively hot. They don't really make any noise at all once you get them really hot from what i've noticed though.

Actually, you do not need them. I've talked to Carbotech directly and they told me not to run a titanium shim. If you have any questions regarding their products, call the number on the side of the box, ask to speak to a tech. They are always very helpful.

I run titanium backing plates (1.0mm) in the front in conjunction with my XP10s on track. Works great. Yes I do get crazy noise if I use the brakes without a transfer layer on the rotors. Sounds like a train coming to a stop.

I've been running Ti heat shields for over 3 years with no issues.

I would rather run Ti heat shields and have that extra layer of heat reduction for the stock calipers, which are known to not like heat abuse at all.
