Brake discs Textar or GALFER
I used Textar discs and pads all round last time I did brakes and no complaints here. All good and would recommend.
Pros: All good
Cons: no complaints
At 180k I had a whole brake system overhaul, replaced all rotors and pads with new brake fluid. Textar parts all around.
Pros: brake system overhaul
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 180000 km
I put a predator front engine mount and a Kinetic rear. The mechanics noticed that I had a warped brake disc, they changed the discs for Galfer and the brake pads. I had no more problems after that….
Pros: no more problems
Cons: warped brake disc
Mileage: 18000 km
Bisschen spät für den Post, aber für andere Suchende vielleicht interessant: habe für meinen Fiat Tipo auch hinten Bremsscheiben und Belag neu machen lassen. Materialkosten lagen bei mir bei 212€ (Textar-Bremsscheiben) und 85€ (Bremsbeläge). Flüssigkeit lag bei 11,40€. Arbeitsaufwand bei 150€.
Pros: Materialkosten Bremsscheiben bekannt
Vehicle:
Fiat Tipo
Ich bin mittlerweile von Brembo, Ate usw zu Textar gewechselt (Scheiben und Beläge) da mir der Rostschutz sehr wichtig war.....und auch jetzt, nach ca. 70000km, sehen die Scheiben aus wie aus dem Karton....mit Ausnahme der blanken Bremsfläche.
Pros: guter Rostschutz, lange Lebensdauer
Mileage: 70000 km
Personally I use galfer
My shop uses Textar and Zimmerman coated rotors with great results.
Pros: great results
Hatte schon Brembo, Ate, Textar, Ferodo, TRW und Pagid verbaut. Vom reinen Bremswirkung fand ich Textar immer am Besten, da war aber auch nach spätestens 50.000 km Schluss mit den Scheiben. Ate war gefühlt ein My schlechter in der Bremswirkung, dafür aber sehr sehr haltbar - die goldene Mitte eben. Mit Brembo habe ich nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, die Scheiben hatten nach 2.000 km Schlag, die Beläge wurden ziemlich schnell hart und quietschten wie Sau und besonders lang hielten sie auch nicht - dafür waren sie genau so teuer wie Ate. Habe aktuell Ferodo drauf, die waren günstig und bisher nach ca. 25.000 km absolut unauffällig.
Pros: gute Bremswirkung, haltbar
Cons: schnelle Abnutzung, quietschen
Vehicle:
Opel Vectra B
Mileage: 50000 km
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
I got a set of the galfer wave rotors and they absolutely screamed no matter what I did. I cleaned everything and rebedded the pads half a dozen times and even switched to organic pads thinking I was doing something wrong. Finally just tried different rotors and my brakes were dead silent
Pros: dead silent brakes
Cons: screaming brakes
