Brake pads Mintex or GALFER

GALFER Brake pads

I just installed Galfer HH sintered pads and they’ve been solid so far. Definitely an improvement from stock but they were getting pretty worn down

Pros: solid performance, improvement from stock

Mintex Brake pads

I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.

Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle: Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km

GALFER Brake pads

Rating 2.0

I just switched from OEM (Brembo HH Sintered, I think) pads to Galfer HH Sintered pads. I forgot to scotchbrite the discs and I think I glazed everything up during bedding-in process. I used scotchbrite like mad on the discs and sanded the pads with 220 grit until they were dull like when new, but the brakes seem to have the same behavior - heavy brakes test after 10 mile bed-in ride, the brakes plateau without getting to ABS trigger unless I squeeze like a motherfucker. The previous pads I could stand up on the front wheel with one or two fingers, so I feel like I've done something wrong.

Cons: brakes plateau, ABS trigger
