Brake discs OEM Toyota or GALFER

GALFER Brake discs

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.

Pros: feedback is better, more stable
Cons: no faster stopping

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.

Pros: no rub after break in
Cons: rubbing issues

GALFER Brake discs

I have Code RSC's on my current bike and got rid of the SRAM rotors and now run Galfer wave rotors along with MTX gold pads.

Pros: good with MTX gold pads

GALFER Brake discs

I did the Galfer Waves as I have centerlocks and didn't want to mess with an adapter. They have been really good so far. I paired with MTX gold pads and braking performance is really good.

Pros: really good, good braking

Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.

Pros: OEM Toyota reliable
Cons: cheap rotors warp

Rating 3.0

A few thousand miles later and I started to noticed a some shaking in the steering wheel when braking in the higher speeds (60-80mph). I called a few shops in my area that were highly recommend on both here Reddit, yelp, and the forums. Most pointed to warped rotors. One shop says to have the rotors machined and another says to have the completely replaced. What are your guy’s thoughts on having them machined?

Pros: smooth braking at lower speeds
Cons: shaking steering wheel when braking at high speeds
