GALFER Brake discs

Rating 5.0

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

R1 Concepts Brake discs

Have been putting r1concept rotors on my vehicles for 10 years. Corolla, lexus is 250, ford f150, saab 9-3, volvo xc 90. Have always gotten drilled/slotted braking performance seems to be twice as good. The last few cars I know I got my geomet rotors and ceramic pads. But 8 years ago got rotors on my lexus. Felt great never really had a problem. I was showing off in the back roads of wv, super hill, county roads. Maybe a 20 minute drive and I did have the car filled with people. Hit 95 mph a couple times. Everything was fine got back parked, my back rotors were smoking for atleast 10 minutes very visible. Still never had any issues after that. That is apparently super common. Not cause for too much concern. Never had it with any other vehicle any other time. I speed excisively. Just saying if you intend to use them for a track car I'd wanna be aware of that. Who knows if the geomet rotors would've improved things.

Pros: good braking performance
Cons: rotors smoked after hard use

R1 Concepts Brake discs

R1 concepts has nice rotors, and they sent me dynamic friction pads that I’ve been very happy with.

I’m hesitant to give them business though because they sent me broken brake pads that were clearly abused in the warehouse, not in shipping, and refused to remedy the situation. I was furious.

Pros: nice rotors, happy with pads
Cons: sent broken pads, refused remedy
