Ti shims help to reduce heat going into the caliper so basically it helps to preserve the stock pistons and reduces heat transfer into your brake fluid. Also would help stop your calipers from overheating and changing colour.

Yeah, I've heard of this too... but then again, one has to wonder where does that heat go, if not into the brake fluid? I read elsewhere that if it's not going anywhere, then does that mean your brake pads will fry faster? Or are brake pads ok to take the heat? And, if they are ok to take the heat, does that mean more heat to rotors, resulting in cracked/warped rotors? I'm still debating whether to get my ti shims or not...
