Brake discs GALFER or OEM Volkswagen

I really like my galfers, but they were some money.

I run a Galfer floating front disc with sintered Galfer pads on my 401. It doesn't seem to stop any faster but feedback is better and the bike feels a lot more stable under hard braking. Would recommend.

Heard good things about galfer rotors

My local shop recommended trying Galfer rotors which is what they run with Maguras and it’s made a difference on my front brake which is the only one I have had rub issues with. Galfer rotor with new pads took about a week to break in with no rub.

I’m running Galfer Wave rotors 203/180 with the E-bike pads front, pro pads rear. It’s so much more brake than I will ever need.

One of my front rotors on my 2019 was showing significant grooving by about 1500 miles. At 12k miles, it isn't really all that much worse. No pulsing or judder.

Yup. My front were grooved, rears were "diagnosed" as warped by VW techs. 12k miles. New pads and rotors has 7000 miles, haven't noticed anything yet.

I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.

I was fairly unimpressed that the brand new rotors out of the box have some surface rust. I suspect these have been on a shelf for a long time.

Am I right to be upset that I was told the rotors are warped because I went through a puddle with hot brakes? Costing me $1300 to fix!
