The reason for the titanium brake pad shims has nothing to do with strength or expansion, it has to do with the fact that titanium transfers far less heat than aluminum, steel or stainless steel.
It is the same reason most racing brake calipers use titanium pistons as opposed to SS or aluminum. The less heat transferred into the brake fluid usually translates to better brake performance.
