370z Titanium Brake Pad Shims (Track users)
I recently installed a set of these shims on my race pads. I am not sure if they are actually helping, but I made it through one track day without my caliper boots melting. Now it could just be me being a better manager for my brakes, but I recall all the boots on my calipers were dead after one event. This could be something worth considering for track guys!

Hard Brakes stopped making them several years ago shortly before I started my search. I bought some front shims a while back off eBay with help of a link from Cossie
Based on the weight, they appear to be legit titanium.
