Brake discs GiroDisc or GALFER
I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I really like my galfers, but they were some money.
Pros: amazing with V4s
Cons: were some money
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
As others have noted the Girodisc with quality track pads, upgraded brake fluid and RS3 ducts is all that is needed.
Pros: great reputation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Heard good things about galfer rotors
Pros: good things
S2000 1 piece oem rotors last 2 weekends
Girodisc s2000 oem size 2 piece rotors lasted me almost 2 years of heavy tracking. They only died because my hawk er1 pads took a chunk out of one. They still had plenty of thickness
Pros: long lasting, durable
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
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
I’m running Galfer Wave rotors 203/180 with the E-bike pads front, pro pads rear. It’s so much more brake than I will ever need.
Pros: more brake than needed
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
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.
Pros: hard pressed to tell differences
Cons: hard pressed to tell differences
