Default Titanium heat shields for Brembos

Do you guys sell titanium pad heat shields for the 6/4 Brembo setup?

Last track day I got the front callipers black as night (and it wasn't dust), the paint has since recovered to a dark maroon, and the white logo is custard yellow.

Paint damage aside, Ti shields are also supposed to combat overheating the brake fluid.

If not can you give me some Hawk or Pagid pad model numbers to suit.

Sorry i can't help with the shields and the calipers are suffering the effects of the heat and the colour change is very common on brembo calipers put under these conditions.
You don't mention brake fade at all so i am assuming the brakes work well.

The pedal does get long by the end of the day, but it's never given out on me.

I'm looking for ways to keep a firm pedal all day long (and ideally for longer stints).

I'm also investigating braided lines, and brake ducts.

Braided lines are good as they won't flex and expand like rubber and the ducting will help to keep the brakes cooler.What fluid do you run ? maybe step up a fluid.

Fluid is on the cards too. It's currently whatever Ford specify.

Had braided lines on my old Falcon. So keen on them.
