Brake pads Bosch or GALFER

Bosch Brake pads

After replacing the brakes with Bosch and tires with Michelin CrossClimate, over 30k miles later and brakes have at least another 50-60k life left, and tires too, since they have 80k miles warranty.

Pros: long life

I got Bosch pads for my '15 off of Amazon. They've been fine on the street, but I've not really pushed the brakes hard

Pros: fine on street
Cons: not pushed hard

Bosch Brake pads

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.

Pros: pads cause constant drag
Cons: pads not marked
Vehicle: Infiniti
