Titanium shims

For those running Ti pad shims on their ST60 calipers, which brand did you go with?

Now $139, guess they've gone up like everything else. The eBay seller has multiple versions for the ST60. Any idea what version our ST60 calipers use?

I saw that but they don't list how thick their shims are.

Can you link the shims from ebay?
I was looking for a set a couple years ago, but didn't find any.
Girodisc only made ST40 at the time.
Thanks.

Just order from Girodisc. They are thicker and cheaper than the eBay version.

That shape doesn't look anything like the ST60 pad. It fits ok?
I mainly want to use them as the pad wears down to help with heat managment.
Thanks for the link.

The ad states the pic is a stock image and not necessarily the exact product.

I ordered 4 weeks ago. Still haven't shipped. They said there was a back order issue.

Do you have a shipping date yet?
