Switched to Galfers last year on 2 bikes: rival and force. Out of my opinion, very well machined discs doing their job. I’m satisfied..
Wagner Pads, Bosch QC Rotors. Duralast pads are made by Durago, available on RockAuto. They’re nothing special but they work fine. I like Wagner brakes, other good options include Bosch, Centric and Reybestos. For materials; Ceramic will be quieter and less dusty. Semi-metallic usually have higher fade point but are noisier and let off a fair it more dust which coats your wheels. I’ve been having good luck with the Bosch Quietcast rotors. Advice High Carbon are probably actually be the best option but are one of the more expensive options. Raybestos coated also seem to hold up decently and are a little cheaper. Just avoid anything drilled or slotted it just acts as a cheese grater and acts as less surface area for the pads to grab.
When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.
I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.
I think I did some deep dive research and settled on Bosch quiet cast with Akebono pads. I think I’ve also used eccentric in the past. No complaints with any of the above.
Ive had good luck with bosch quietcast
Bosch is still usefull i use Rear disks since 25k km , and still good
Compare the price with Walmart. I bought Bosch ones at Rock, they're great!
I have Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads. They are excellent - quiet and excellent brake feel.
I currently have Galfer, SRAM, and the Shimano Ice Tech rotors in 180/200-203.. Honestly…I’m hard pressed to tell the differences between them once I’m going downhill.
I’m running bosch quietcast pads/rotors all 4 corners, not a huge fan, probably wouldn’t do it again. They seem to “warp” easy getting some pulsating after only 15k on fronts and 5k on rears.
